The Friends of Horton Park maintain several native plant gardens in this one-block-square city park in the Hamline Midway neighborhood. They meet monthly during the growing season to care for the native plants in oak savanna, prairie, and shade gardens, bringing together community members that include seniors from the adjacent high rise, students from Hamline University, and K-8 students from the school across the street. Interpretive signs and plant labels help educate visitors about the gardens. The Friends welcome additional volunteers.
