Live: Parade of Community Gardens
In it's third year, this metrowide event features 45
community gardens across the Twin Cities, Stillwater, Mankato and
Northfield. Participants can take a self-guided tour (download the
brochure from www.gardenworksmn.org
to map your route) or hang around their neighborhood garden to acquaint
themselves with the people who make these community spaces happen. The
parade will feature a variety of attractions including: "music,
labyrinth, cool treats, massage, chickens, heirloom tomato festival, a
beehive" and much more! Check out www.gardenworksmn.org for all the details.

Live: Minnesota Garlic Festival
The summer event for garlic lovers! This family friendly,
"fragrant" festival is the place to stock up on local, gourmet
garlic--the fest features Minnesota garlic growers with over 100
varieties available. The festival also features music, artisans, games,
local food and cooking demos. Most importantly though, the Garlic
Festival supports "a healthy environment, sustainable farms and vital
rural communities in Minnesota."
