Come out to Horton Park on April 28th for the city of *St. Paul’s Arbor Day
celebration at Horton Park*! With the guidance, volunteers will be planting
over 70 trees in Horton Park. After the planting, the Midway Frogtown
Arborators will share some brass tunes. Tours of the park’s trees will be
offered periodically, as well as slack line and tree climbing opportunities
for the kids. In addition, Friends of Horton Park will be opening the
community gardens for the season and attendees can partake in that activity
too. While at the park, you can get a tattoo, learn about fruit tree pests
and diseases from Ramsey County Master Gardeners, make a stem-dwelling
native bee nest with Befriending Bumble Bees, climb a tree, listen to
the Midway
Frogtown Arborators <http://www.arborators.org/>, and more! The planting
will start at 9:00 a.m.(you can register on site beginning at 8:30), rain
or shine, and run until 10:30. The rest of the day’s events will run 10 am
until 1:00 p.m. There will light refreshments provided, but visitors who
plan to be there for long are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch. This
event is co-hosted by Friends of Horton Park, the Hamline Midway
Environmental Group (HMEG) and St. Paul’s Natural Resources. Come anytime
