You Can Build a Garden

You Can Build a Garden is a music video explaining why and how to install raingardens in our yards and parks. After watching it you will want to start dancing and digging right along with Metro Blooms, Blue Thumb, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and a talented group of Minneapolis musicians based in the Powderhorn Park and Diamond Lake neighborhoods.
