Building Better 
Yards
Learn how to make your yard the best it can be for you and the environment!

​Interested in making your neighborhood and beyond a more sustainable place? Your yard is the perfect space to start!

 

NENA is teaming up with Twin Cities Seed (again!) to offer sustainable grass seed to support the Nokomis East Community. Whether you want a pristine lawn with improved sustainability, a pollinator paradise, or something in between - we’ve got the perfect option (or options!) for you. 

​

With the Building Better Yards fundraiser you can purchase seed at 25-40% off retail prices and support NENA with your purchase! When you buy seed through our fundraiser, NENA receives up to 40% of the purchase price. See below for the types of seed available.

​

​Join us at our Fundraiser Kick Off Event at the Building Better Yards Workshop on Wednesday, July 15, 4:30-6:00pm.

Twin Cities Seed Company Conservation Specialist and pollinator habitat champion Josh Wolfin will share information about sustainable yard practices and the products that support pollinators, save water and enhance outdoor space. Location TBD.
