West End Neighbors' Garden (and History)
Tours

For 13 years volunteers organized garden tours, the last six with corresponding histories of the neighborhoods along West Seventh Street, the West End of Saint Paul. They were successful as one strategy of enhancing the perspective that we're a beautiful and historic place to live along the banks of the Mississippi River--the first residential neighborhoods of our State of Minnesota.
