On September 21, Little Earth Housing, the Native Youth Arts Collective, and the City of Minneapolis hosted a planting event and street beautification project for Cedar Field Park and 18th Avenue South in south Minneapolis. Youth had been working hard to paint the street.

The community outreach event was in partnership with the Minneapolis Public Works and the Little Earth Residents Association. Plants were donated by Mother Earth gardens and Hennepin County. All artwork was completed and designed by the Native Youth Arts Collective.

Youth gather dirt to fill in around plantings, donated by Mother Earth gardens.
