\"\"Open Garden with Michelle Mick<\/strong>
\nSaturday, June 4 from 3-6 PM<\/em>
\n565 Arlington Avenue West, St Paul, MN 55117<\/em><\/p>\n

For anyone who would like to wander through a rather wild unruly but fun garden in St Paul, our gardening guru, Michelle Mick has graciously offered a tour of her gardens this Saturday, June 4. All are welcome from 3-6 PM to come on over and wander through her gardens. The irises are starting to bloom, as well as many other lovely plants; many natives share their beautiful colors. For those interested, there are three rain gardens out back, boulevard gardens, and solar on the roof too! If there are seeds around, you are most welcome to have some too!<\/p>\n
