If you live in one of these Neighborhoods: Cedar-Riverside, Ventura Village (Phillips), Phillips West, Midtown Phillips, East Phillips, Seward, Cooper, Hiawatha, Howe, Longfellow, or Powderhorn Park, you are invited to apply to be a Minneapolis Edible Boulevard Participant.
Mpls. Edible Boulevards (a small NGO-Non-Profit) helps neighbors grow safe, healthy food right where they live – at home, outside a school, a business, or a place of worship.
Mpls. Edible Boulevards focuses on partnering with Residents of Green Zone Neighborhoods, the first six Neighborhoods above are the Southside Green Zone; and then, any adjacent Neighborhood Residents that are interested.
A Green Zone is an area identified as having the worst environmental injustices and health disparities in Minneapolis. There are two: the Southside and Northside Green Zones.
Minneapolis Edible Boulevards offers Participants:
Free soil testing,
Garden instruction
Garden resources for participants
Free monthly cooking classes
Youth-created tools like the
Plant-Based Directory
Soil Test Data Map
Community Garden Map
The 2025 Application is on Facebook, Instagram, & website. Apply early—spaces fill quickly! There will be four in-person cooking classes in Minneapolis this summer. Everyone’s invited, also on Zoom.
