Lakes Area Community Garden

The community garden near Kiwanis Park in Brainerd is happening this year. However gardeners will only be able to work on their garden every other day. It is going by even and odd days with the corresponding plot numbers(even, odd) (by first plot number if someone has 2 plots)

City staff want the garden to be filled / rented up as much as possible so plots are taken care of to minimize extra maintenance.

There are 91 staff lay offs and 12 separations listed in staffing changes for approval at Wednesday's School Board meeting.
