This issue is built around the themes of outdoor living, travel and pets, some of my favorite topics that often lead to this issue being my favorite one of the year. Within these pages, you’ll find some fantastic stories of folks caring for their land and the plants and animals that call it home. Read about White Bear Lake’s Pollinator Pathways Map and learn how to create gardens that will support local pollinators. Later, writer Kristie Smith went on an excursion to This Old Horse in Hugo to talk about its Racehorse Reimagined program that gives retired racehorses a new purpose. There’s also a peek into some exciting and delicious new ventures, including Roam Bike Shop and Orso Bianco Gelato and more on how a classic spot is looking toward the future.
