[Mpls] Watering Trees; Mpls Park & Rec information

The Park Board often gets trees from the Marshall Terrace Tree Farm. And I know some of them have been free.

That was true many years ago but the current shift toward outsourcing 
impacted our Park System as well and the internal nursery was abandoned long 
ago--along with the good summer jobs for teens that went with it. The Park 
Board now has to buy their trees.

Another reason to revive the traditions of Theodore Wirth and promote 
self-sufficiency through the community instead of contracting out 
responsibility.
