The Rotary Club of North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale planted a pollinator rain garden in the rain
Sunday, September 25 at the Rotary Park located in North St. Paul on Second Street North and North St.
Paul Drive near the Gateway Trail. Rotarians and their families planted 390 native plants and 17 shrubs
including marsh milkweed, black-eyes susans, cardinal flowers, joe-pyeweed and prairie blazingstar in
addition to numerous native grasses. The rain garden at Rotary Park was designed to be pollinator
friendly and to have different plants blooming throughout the growing season.The Rotary Club completed
this project with the help of the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District, Ramsey Conservation
District, N. St. Paul Public Works, Outback Nursery and Ramsey County Corrections for their help with
this project.
