PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR 2027
Fall Garden Prep Workshop + Garden Tour Preview
Help your garden finish the season strong—and help us plant the first seeds for the 2027 Shingle Creek Victory Garden Experience!
Join the Shingle Creek Victory Council's Livability Committee for a free, welcoming workshop focused on preparing ornamental gardens and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces for Minnesota fall and winter.
You’ll receive practical seasonal guidance, fresh ideas for next year and an early look at BLOOM NORTH, the proposed August 2027 neighborhood garden experience celebrating the gardens, people and stories of Shingle Creek and Victory neiborhoods.
Whether your space is large, small, polished, playful, native, colorful or still evolving, you are welcome. You do not need to be an expert gardener—and your garden does not need to be perfect.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
• What to cut back—and what to leave standing
• Fall cleanup and garden-care priorities
• Mulching, bulbs and winter protection
• Preparing containers and ornamental plants for colder weather
• Creating garden interest and supporting pollinators
• Simple design ideas for a beautiful garden next August
• How to participate in the proposed 2027 BLOOM NORTH Garden Experience
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This workshop is for Victory & Shingle Creek neighbors interested in:
• Flower and ornamental gardens
• Native and pollinator plantings
• Front-yard gardens and curb appeal
• Porches, patios and outdoor gathering spaces
• Container and small-space gardens
• Garden art and creative outdoor design
• Featuring a garden in the 2027 tour
• Volunteering, sponsoring or supporting the experience
• Learning practical ways to care for a garden through fall and winter
This workshop focuses on aesthetic, ornamental and designed outdoor spaces rather than vegetable gardening.

ABOUT BLOOM NORTH
BLOOM NORTH is the working name for a new self-guided garden experience proposed for August 2027 in the Shingle Creek and Victory neighborhoods.
The experience will celebrate beautiful, creative and welcoming outdoor spaces while honoring the people and stories behind them.
Potential featured spaces may include:
• Front-yard flower gardens
• Ornamental landscaping
• Native and pollinator gardens
• Porches and patios
• Outdoor rooms
• Shade gardens
• Container gardens
• Creative curb appeal
• Small but beautifully designed outdoor spaces
• Gardens featuring art, culture or personal storytelling
Gardens will not be evaluated by how much money was spent, how large the property is or whether the landscape was professionally installed. BLOOM NORTH is about creativity, care, beauty, personal expression and neighborhood pride.
YOUR GARDEN HAS A STORY. LET’S SHOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
Register for the free workshop and be among the first to learn how you can grow with BLOOM NORTH.
