Sister City Garden Walk set Tuesday

LITTLE FALLS -- The third annual Sister City Garden Walk is scheduled Tuesday, featuring nine gardens in northeast Little Falls.

The gardens will be open from 3 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Tickets purchased in advance are $5. Tickets are $6 the day of the garden walk. Tickets may be purchased at The Flower Dell, 119 First St. S.E., Little Falls.

The tour will begin at the Carnegie Library, 108 Third St. N.E. Tickets will be available at the library. The ticket includes a map and explanation of each garden.

Little Falls and the city of LeBourget, France, became sister cities in 1987. Last summer citizens of LeBourget came to Little Falls to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's flight.

The goal of the sister cities is to learn and appreciate each city's history, traditions and customs to strengthen the bonds of friendship and respect of all people. Funds from the garden walk will be used to promote this sister city relationship.
