Bonfires /Recreational Fires - if you like to enjoy a recreational fire on your property, just make sure it meets the guidelines set forth by the Minneapolis Fire Department. The fire must be contained in a fire pit or free standing structure meant for bonfires; you can ONLY burn untreated wood - nothing else; the amount of untreated wood must not exceed 3 feet wide or 2 feet tall; the fire must be 25 feet away from any structure or combustible material; you must have a garden hose or fire extinguisher ready; you can only burn between 9 am-10 pm, and when winds are less than 10 mph. More details on the rules for Minneapolis recreational fires can be found here: RecreationalFireRules

Grilling Out? - make sure your grill is 15 feet from your home, and that you store charcoal, propane, lighter fluid, and other burning materials in the garage or storage shed away from ignition sources such as matches and lighters. Teach children that the grill is HOT (even if it doesn't look hot), and keep them well away from the grill at all times.

If you live in a multi-residential property, open flame, fire pits, fire places, chimineys and propane (LP) fueled grills with tanks greater than 1 pound capacity are not allowed on balconies, roofs or within 15 feet of the exterior of multi-unit residential buildings. Ashes and hot coals are not to be stored in combustible receptacles or within 10 feet of combustible materials or combustible construction. More details can be found here.

The three-hour workshop gives participants an overview of native pollinator plants and raingardens, including design, installation, and maintenance. In the second half of the workshop, participants receive recommendations for their property with one-on-one assistance from Metro Blooms Landscape Designers and Hennepin County Master Gardeners.
