Saving Plants from the Heat

Posted: Updated:

  Imagine if you had to water an entire city in this heat wave. That's what city workers are up against across our region.

  In Crookston, city workers have hundreds of plants hanging from light poles and in gardens all over town that need to be watered constantly.

  Crews are now working seven days a week to protect the plants from Mother Nature and they're doing it, under a blazing sun.

Andrea Clauson, City of Crookston: "Hot, very hot and there's no air in this truck, so it's even warmer in the truck. It gets tough."

  If you're a plant lover and you can handle the heat…  some of the best gardens in Greater Grand Forks are on display  this weekend.

  It's the annual Grand Forks Horticultural Society's Garden Tour.  It runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

  Tickets are $10 and available at the Myra Museum on Belmont Road in Grand Forks.
