Mounds Park Community Garden is excited to partner with the Saint Paul Southwest Girl Scouts Community to host a special garden day for local Girl Scouts and their leaders. This event is a private gathering designed specifically for Girl Scouts in the Southwest community.

Join us as we celebrate the joy of gardening through hands-on learning and outdoor fun! Activities include:

🌼 Pollinator Station: Scouts will participate in a fun pollinator/plant bingo competition, learn about pollinators and native plants, and take home a plant of their own!
🌱 Pollinator Education & Seed Bomb Workshop: Learn about the importance of seed propagation by building clay seed bombs the Scouts can take home.
🐞 Tiny Garden Helpers: Get up close with critters that help gardens with natural pest control, pollination, soil improvement, and composting!

All Girl Scouts who attend will receive a fun patch to commemorate the day.

Some activities also align with badge and journey steps that troop leaders may choose to build on later:

• Daisy: Between Earth and Sky Journey (with an optional take-home reflection)

• Brownie: Bugs badge (meet local insects and pollinators)

• Junior: Gardener and Flowers badges (native plant education and planting techniques)

• Cadette, Senior, Ambassador: Outdoor Art badges

Please note: This is not a drop-off event. Troop leaders and guardians must maintain proper supervision ratios throughout the event. Need directions? Select this link for the Google Map location of Mounds Park Community Garden.
