Rose Garden Has Enough Bagged Leaves, City Recommends Using WLSSD

DULUTH, Minn. — Crews in the Rose Garden have been collecting bags of leaves for the past few weeks, and the City of Duluth wants the public to know that they’ve collected enough bags for their rose beds.

Every year, the City asks for the public’s help to insulate the rose beds over the winter. They encourage people to bring their bags of leaves to the Rose Garden parking lot.

Then crews move them on top of the roses to create a layer of warmth throughout the winter months.

If you’re still looking for a place to put your bagged leaves, the City is recommending residents take advantage of WLSSD’s compost facility.

You can bring your leaves for free, then staff will turn the compost pile into fresh soil they sell for gardening season.
