Tangletown is a neighborhood in the Southwest community of Minneapolis. The neighborhood was officially known as Fuller until 1996 when it was changed to the present name, which reflects the winding streets in the neighborhood that do not conform to the regular street grid of South Minneapolis. The neighborhood boundaries are 46th Street to the north, Interstate 35W to the east, Diamond Lake Road to the south, and Lyndale Avenue South to the west.

Spring into the Garden with Blooms Day 2010
Please join Metro Blooms as we kick off the gardening season with one of the most celebrated spring garden events in Minneapolis. Blooms Day returns on Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at Kenny Community School, 5720 Emerson Avenue South, Minneapolis. The event is free.
The program begins at 9:00 a.m. with a keynote address from Teri Knight, a Dakota Master Gardener and former host of “Garden Bite” on 102.9 LITE FM. Terry will address this year’s Blooms Day theme: “Beauty Boosters.”
An awards ceremony honoring top Minneapolis gardeners will follow Teri Knight’s keynote speech. The popular Blooms Day plant sale follows the awards program. This year’s sale will feature native perennial plants with a selection of Rusty Schmidt’s favorite raingarden plants.
Hosted by Metro Blooms, formerly Minneapolis Blooms, this year’s event will also feature four FREE 25-minute seminars on (1) designing for foliage, (2) garden design styles, (3) fast landscape plantings in the aftermath of emerald ash borer, and (4) raingarden maintenance. These mini-seminars will take place throughout the morning.
Representatives from Metro Blooms, plant societies, the Hennepin County Master Gardeners, and garden/landscape businesses will be on hand to answer your questions. Enjoy refreshments while perusing silent auction items and shopping at exhibitor booths.
