Lyndale Garden Tour
Wednesday, August 20th
6 to 8:30 pm

Meet at Butter (35th and Grand) for a guided tour at 6 pm.

We all know how diverse the Lyndale neighborhood is. Now come explore just
how diverse some of the gardens are which are located here. Celebrate
outdoor city living on the second annual garden tour and visit 8 gardens
that will give inspiration on making your own yard an extension of your
living space. Whether it be a first year start up garden, an intimate patio
with outdoor bar, or a Moroccan Modern themed yard you’re sure to enjoy the
evening walk through the neighborhood. This year’s event will take place on
Wednesday August, 20th, from 6:00 – 8:30pm. 
 
To see all the gardens on a guided tour, meet up at Butter where your tour
guide Shannon will be waiting for you with maps and a sunny disposition. If
you’d rather meander at your own pace on a self-guided tour get a map ahead
of time either at the LNA office or go to www.lyndale.org and print off a
map there. 

Just don’t be late for the end the tour in the neighborhood rain garden at
32nd and Pillsbury for a social gathering and raffle drawing that will take
place at 8:45. Tickets for $5.00 are available at the LNA office on 35th and
Nicollet, from one of the members of the Environment Committee, or with your
tour guide at the start of the tour. Admittance into the tour also enters
you into the raffle for a chance to win a basket of wine and wine items.
Proceeds help keep the neighborhood green by funding projects of the
Environment Committee and helping with on-going maintenance. For more
information contact Mark at the LNA office at 612-824-9402 ext 16 or
mark at lyndale.org.

Minneapolis City Hall
350 S 5th Street
Council Chambers

The Minneapolis City Council will be taking public comment on the Framework
for the Future on Wednesday, August 20th. The Framework for the Future is a
City designed plan to change the governance structure for how neighborhoods
receive public funding by creating a new City Commission, instead of through
the multi-jurisdictional NRP Policy Board.

Neighborhood’s program, events, and activities over the next three years.
An important step in this process is in understanding what Lyndale community
members think of LNA’s current work and potential future direction.

Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey it should take around 10
to 15 minutes; we really appreciate your participation.  You can take it

Eating for Art
Thursday, October 2nd

Want a good excuse to spend all day eating at great local restaurants.  On
Tuesday, October 2nd we’re giving you the perfect excuse – Eating for Art.
Join us at local restaurants like El Paraiso, Butter, Victor’s 1959 Café,
and the Grand Café to help raise money for arts programming in the Lyndale
and Kingfield Neighborhoods.

All you have to do to be a great neighbor is to pick your favorite
participating restaurants and go eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and if you
want a couple of snacks in between.  Proceeds from this year’s event will go
towards the Walldogs on Nicollet project.

We’ll be posting a complete list of participating restaurants at
www.lyndale.org in the next two weeks.
