The Green Machine joined the Green Thumb Crew at The Bakken Museum, Minneapolis, Minn., for an evening of gardening and landscaping duties. Well slathered in sunscreen and bug spray, 11 team members worked in the gardens and surrounding grounds, helping to make the immediate environment around The Bakken a much greener and tidier place. Using shovels, trowels, and rakes, we cleared brush and weeded garden beds, including pulling out giant invasive weeds. The team cooled off afterward with shakes at the Convention Grill.
