According to the St. Louis Park, MN bulletin, "Pollinate the Park webpage", this sale is specially designed for St. Louis Park's unique ecosystem. You can find all the information, and presumably, inspiration, you need right on their site.
These plant sales do more than just beautify a patch of earth; they're a cornerstone for sustainability in urban settings.
