Explore the Native Plant Food Forest!

Explore the new Native Plant Food Forest at Community Park in Vadnais Heights! Join members of the Vadnais Heights Green Team for a guided tour of this innovative garden, learn how native plants can provide food while supporting pollinators, birds and beneficial insects, and enjoy tasty treats and beverages along the way.

Sustainable Stillwater MN supports this event because native plants are an important part of healthy, resilient ecosystems. Food forests demonstrate how we can grow food, improve soil, increase biodiversity and create habitat for wildlife—all while using sustainable landscaping practices. We’re excited to highlight this local example and encourage more people to discover the benefits of incorporating Minnesota native plants into their own landscapes.
