HCMC to unveil new rooftop garden
Mayor R.T. Rybak will cut the ribbon on a new rooftop herb garden Tuesday at the Hennepin County Medical Center in downtown Minneapolis.
The garden is funded by a city grant. It will grow fresh herbs for food served in the hospital and special herbs for the traditional Hmong postpartum meal.
Food services manager Lisa Nadeau says the hospital is excited about getting the freshest ingredients for its recipes, and being able to accommodate the cultural preferences of its patients.
