I’ve finally started noticing dandelions blooming over the past week (perhaps it’s been longer – I’m slow). I want to try my hand at making some dandelion wine this year, but I don’t have my own yard to pick them in. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place (or several good places) to find dandelions to pick? I need places that absolutely have not been sprayed with any kind of weed killer, and hopefully aren’t frequented by dogs.
Thanks in advance!
Sound Unseen International Duluth is proud to announce its second annual International Film, Music and Art Festival, presented by Maurices, from June 8-12 in Duluth. Unlike our festival in the Twin Cities, the Duluth festival allows us to expand our programming beyond “films-on-music” (although still included via our In Competition music films) and brings world-class cinema, art and music to the Twin Ports area.

Duluth’s Urban Wilderness Camp is open for registration. We take small groups of kids (10-12 years old) into Duluth’s public forests and explore local treasures. This summer, we have camps at Fairmont Park (by the zoo), Lower Chester Park, and Lester Park.
Each camp runs Monday through Thursday, 9-3:30. We do things like swim in local creeks, search for crayfish, find agates, safely eat wild plants and berries, explore forests and creeks, play disc golf and capture the flag, make up games, paddle canoes, fish, cook over fires, tie knots, set up tarps, ride the city bus, hike on the Superior Hiking Trail, bike on the Munger Trail, paddle canoes, work and play as a team, and take care of our local urban wilderness. Each day, we have healthy snacks provided by Duluth’s Whole Foods Co-op! For more information or to sign up for this or other Hartley Nature Center summer camps, go to hartleynature.org or call 218 724-6735.
