    Group Talks Dirt at Stearns History Museum
    Master Gardeners Discuss New Gardens, Pollinators

    ST. CLOUD (August 31, 2021) – George Herzog, Brenda Mahoney, Karen Neu and Joanne Peterson,
    Master Gardeners with the University of Minnesota Extension Office of Stearns County, will present at
    the 9 a.m. Wednesday, September 8, Breakfast Club at the Stearns History Museum.

    The volunteers will talk about the transformation of the Museum’s front bed into a pollinator garden.
    It wasn’t an easy task, as there were several years of overgrowth to dig out. What went into their
    decision? How did they plan, prepare and choose the plants for the space? Come listen and find out!

    Next on their agenda is to ready the southeast garden bed at the Museum for Minnesota prairie
    grasses. The group will also talk about the Master Gardener program and offer advice for those with
    gardening questions.

    Attendance for this event is limited to 50 people due to COVID-19 space limitations. Reservations are
    required and will close at noon Tuesday, September 9. Please call the Museum at 320-253-8424 to
    register. The Breakfast Club program is free for Stearns History Museum members and $7 for
    nonmembers. Coffee and donuts will be provided.

    The Stearns History Museum connects people through the power of history and culture, offering a
    premier cultural heritage experience in Central Minnesota. Check us out on Facebook and our website

    Monthly Meeting (via Zoom)

    “Local Redistricting: St. Cloud and Stearns County”

    Wednesday, September 8, 2021, 1:00--3:00 p.m.

    As a follow-up to the 2020 U.S. Census, local and county governments in Minnesota must address redistricting. City ward boundaries will have to be established by March 29, 2022, and county district boundaries by April 26, 2022. The redistricting process will get underway in October, 2021, and involves scheduling public input. To learn more about how the redistricting process works, we have invited St. Cloud City Clerk, Seth Kauffman; Stearns County Auditor-Treasurer, Randy Schreifels; and Stearns County Board Chair, Tarryl Clark to talk about the role of public officials in the drafting of maps and how public input is solicited and incorporated.
