A
C
C
Start
with
you
Grace
can
you
let
me
back
up
a
little
bit.
Let
me
introduce
sister
Naomi
La
yeah.
C
Grace,
please
introduce
yourself
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
and
introduce
yourself,
and
can
you
help
us
understand
what
you
do
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
after
you
introduce
yourself
Grace
talk.
He
got
to
change
here.
Minneapolis.
E
So
the
majority
of
my
role
is
about
supporting
gardeners
and
farmers
who
lease
on
city-owned
land
for
their
Community,
or
maybe
a
Market
Garden
through
something
called
the
Minneapolis
Garden
lease
program.
I
also
work
on
projects
and
provide
support
and
resources
for
our
community
members
who
want
to
grow
food
in
their
own
backyards
or
in
other
Community
Gardens,
and
those
who
want
to
run
Urban
Farms.
One
of
the
amazing
things
in
Minneapolis
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
flexible
rules
about
where
Gardens
can
be
located
throughout
the
city.
E
F
You
know
a
lot
of
people
are
saying
in
the
middle
of
a
growing
Metropolitan
City
and
there's
community
garden.
People
could
do
Garden
in
their
neighborhood.
Can
you
help
us
understand
what
the
City
of
Minneapolis
Garden
leads
program
is.
E
Thank
you
that
is
you're
right,
we're
in
space
for
growing
both
existing
Gardens
that
you
can
join
and
new
Gardens
through
the
garden
lease
program.
So
the
garden
lease
program
is
a
program
where
the
city
government
offers
and
owns
several
vacant
Lots
in
Minneapolis
right
that
are
just
grass
and
this
program
offers
these
lots
to
folks
who
want
to
start
a
community
or
a
Market.
E
Garden
Community
Gardens
really
serve
as
spaces
for
both
lifelong
and
also
new
gardeners
to
grow
their
own
food
for
use
at
their
home,
or
maybe
to
donate
to
other
community
members
and
also
as
a
place
for
meeting
your
neighbors
and
having
better
access
to
Fresh
Produce
Market
Gardens.
E
On
the
other
hand,
which
is
another
thing
that
these
Lots
can
be
used
for,
contribute
to
our
food
economy
and
also
provide
more
food
access
because
they
allow
fresh
produce
and
other
food
products
that
you're
growing
there
to
be
grown
and
then
sold
in
our
city.
There
is
a
variety
of
lease
lengths
for
lots
that
are
in
the
garden
lease
program
and
that's
usually
varies
from
one
to
five
years,
and
then
you
can
renew
those.
D
F
F
The
things
that
I
need-
and
you
know
for
my
family
usage,
how
can
people
who
are
listening
to
us
right.
C
Now
apply
to
release
a
lot
from
the
city
you
know
for,
for
whatever
plan.
E
Thank
you,
I
love,
helping
people
get
new,
Gardens
started
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
complicated
process,
but
I'm
here,
I'm
always
here
to
help.
So
the
first
step
is
to
look
at
our
map
online
of
all
available
and
also
least
Lots.
You
can
find
that
link
to
the
map
on
the
city's
website
at
minneapolisnn.gov,
Garden
lease
or
you
can
just
go
to
minneapolisnn.com
and
then
search
or
dot.
Gov
excuse
me
and
in
the
search
engine
type
in
Garden.
Lease
and
it'll
be
one
of
those
options.
E
If
you
want
to
have
a
community
garden
where
you're
growing
food
for
yourself
and
your
families
in
a
group,
you
need
to
find
a
sponsor
organization
which
we
can
help
with.
But
if
you're
applying
as
a
Market
Garden
and
want
to
sell
the
food
that
you
grow,
you
need
to
have
your
business
license
to
operate
in
Minnesota
after
you
find
which
lot
you
want
to
Garden
or
maybe
a
couple
of
options.
You
will
fill
out
the
garden
request
form
and
you
can
find
a
link
to
that
on
the
same
webpage
as
the
map.
E
Once
you
submit
that
form,
then
we
will
look
at
your
request
and
determine
whether
you
are
eligible
based
on
things
like
how
close
you
live
to
the
lot
and
other
factors
like
that.
If
you
are
approved,
then
you'll
work
with
City
staff
to
complete
the
lease
application
packet,
which
includes
things
like
drawing
out
a
map
of
what
you
want,
your
garden,
to
look
like
submitting
a
check
for
the
small
fees
and
more.
But
those
are
the
basic
steps
and
we're
happy
to
help
you
along
in
that
process.
D
D
F
E
The
city's
website,
which
is
Minneapolis,
mn.gov
and
then
type
in
Community,
Gardens
it'll
be
probably
the
third
option,
just
titled
Community
Gardens
and
the
link
to
the
Minnesota
Community
gardening
website
is
down
at
the
bottom
bottom
of
the
page,
on
additional
resources
section
and
that
will
have
a
link
to
the
list
serve
where
you
can
ask
around
who
knows
of
gardens
in
your
area.
Another
great
way
is
to
contact
your
neighborhood
organization.
E
If
you
don't
know
what
your
neighborhood
organization
is,
you
can
type
in
City
of
Minneapolis
neighborhood
organizations
into
your
internet
browser
search
bar
and
find
which
neighborhood
the
contact
information
for
your
neighborhood
organization,
and
they
have
a
great
understanding
of
the
gardening.
Often
that
is
going
on
in
their
community.
E
A
final
option
is,
you
can
check
in
with
your
Minneapolis
city
council
office.
If
you
don't
know
who
your
city
council
member
is,
you
can
go
to
the
city's
website
and
type
in
city
council
into
the
search
engine
or
you
can
just
call
3-1-1
and
then
from
there
folks
will
be
able
to
help.
You
find
a
garden
that's
nearby
and
connect
you
with
how
to
join.
That
group.
F
Grace
the
people
listening
and
like
I
was
saying
before.
If
people
want
to
get,
they.
C
They
don't
have,
you
know,
they
don't
know
the
soils
or
they
don't
have
any
compost.
E
In
addition,
there
are
a
lot
of
garden
center
stores
around
the
area
that
you
can
also
purchase
smaller
quantities
of
soil
or
compost
or
both
for
your
Gardens.
So
a
few
options.
F
Grace
one
of
the
things
that
people
when
we
planned
back
in
allows
of
Thailand
or
wherever
it
is,
we.
C
Usually
plan
near
you
know
near
water,
so
you
have
access
to
water
to
help
you
plan
or
what.
F
Your
garden
grow
in
the
city.
There
is
no
Pond
that
or
I
wouldn't
say,
there's.
C
City
in
the
middle
of
the
city,
do
you
go
to
the
neighbor's
house
and
knock
on
their
door
and
ask
for
their
water
from
the
house
or
how.
C
E
E
E
If
that
doesn't
work
for
some
reason
and
you
have
a
fire
hydrant
nearby,
that
is
another
option
and
you
can
apply
for
something
called
the
community
garden
water
permit.
There
is
a
50
fee
to
apply
and
a
hundred
dollar
deposit,
but
that
hundred
dollar
deposit
covers
the
cost
of
the
water
that
you'll
be
using
through
the
season,
and
if
you
don't
use
a
hundred
dollars
worth
of
water,
you'll
be
refunded
them
out.
That's
different.
E
If
you
want
to
learn
more
information,
you
can
go
to
the
city
of
City,
of
Minneapolis,
Community,
Gardens
webpage
and
there's
information
about
hydrant
water
permits
for
Gardens.
At
the
top
of
that
page.
There
are,
of
course,
also
Creative
Solutions,
like
you
could
do
a
rain
water
collection,
Barrel
or
other
things
like
that,
but
those
are
connecting
to
your
neighbor
or
connecting
to
a
fire.
Hydrant
are
two
of
the
most
consistent
ways
that
you
can
get
water
for
your
garden.
D
F
Grace
one
of
the
things
that
people
use
as
fertilizer
to
help
their
their
their
garden
grow
are
like
things
like
you
know,
the
the
extraction
from
burning
branches
leaves
organic
organic
fertilizer,
like
chicken,
chicken
leftover,
OB
hives.
We.
F
Really
good
organic
fertilizer
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
can
can
people
have
chickens
in
their
backyard
and
have
bees
in
their
backyard?
Can
they
burn
small
branches.
C
That
could
help
and
they
remove
that
and
put
it
in
their
little
Garden
or
take
that
to
their
Garden.
Are
people
required
to
have
permits
for
things
like
chickens
and
bees
that
that
produce
beehives
that
they
use?
Are
these
some
of
the
things
that
the
city
allowed
them
to
have,
without
or
with
a
permit
in
the
city.
C
E
That
is
a
great
question.
I
agree.
Chicken,
manure
and
these
are
a
great
resource
for
your
Gardens
and
really
help
your
plants
grow.
So,
yes,
you
can
have
chickens
and,
yes,
you
can
have
bees
in
Minneapolis.
E
Both
do
require
permits,
so
chickens
are
allowed
but
require
a
permit
from
Minneapolis
Animal
Care
control.
The
permit
price
depends
on
how
many
chickens
you
have.
It
can
start
at
thirty
dollars
for
one
to
six
chickens
to
80
for
16
to
30
chickens,
and
then
you
also
need
a
special
permit
for
Roosters
and,
as
part
of
that,
permit
you're
also
required
to
notify
all
property
owners
who
are
adjacent
to
where
you're
keeping
the
chickens.
E
And
if
you
have
more
than
six
chickens,
you
need
written
consent
from
at
least
80
percent
of
your
neighbors
that
live
within
100
feet
of
the
property
and
those
permits
are
renewed
annually,
but
first
time
you
do
it
the
easier
it
gets
and
then
bees
are
also
allowed
and
going
to
require
a
permit
as
well
for
Minneapolis,
Animal,
Care
and
Control
that
permit
costs
105.
But
only
one
time
you
don't
pay
annually,
and
you
also
need
to
provide
notice
to
the
people
who
live
nearby
and
then
complete
a
honeybee
course.
E
C
C
And
greatly
appreciate
for
your
time,
looking
forward
to
continue
working
with
you
and
if
you
know
the
people
do
approach
you
and
they
do
not
have
the
language
skills
feel
free
to
also
utilize
me
at
NCR,
enabling
and
community
relations
department
to
support
you.
So
thank
you
for
taking
time
off
your
your
busy
schedule
to
be
on
part
of
a
part
of

so
much
