Join friends and neighbors for the Friends of Diamond Lake Annual Meeting at Diamond Lake Lutheran Church! Hear the keynote speaker, Dakota County Master Gardener and pollinator expert, JoAnne Sabin, speak on pollinators and the importance of providing and maintaining their habitat.
Friends of Diamond Lake is a nonprofit, proactive, citizen-led organization dedicated to restoring, protecting and improving the natural resources of Diamond Lake and its watershed. Founded by a group of neighbors in early 2008, it is led by residents from the neighborhoods in the Diamond Lake area in South Minneapolis.
JoAnne Sabin’s love of gardens, nature, and nutrition led her to become a University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener in 2004 and a beekeeper in 2005. She has been teaching gardening and honeybee related topics throughout Minnesota since 2004, including presentations at garden expos, garden clubs, beekeeping groups, schools, community education, master gardener meetings, and both the Dakota County and the State Fair. She has been gardening in Minnesota for 30 years and her other interests include photography, camping, and volleyball.
