Mariposa Greenhouses is situated partway up a hillside above Grand Forks, an excellent place to find a natural spring. Except for a mostly ugly PVC pipe running from the spring's outlet to the lily pond, it has been artfully incorporated into their terraced specimen gardens. The pictures will explain. Unfortunately, the nose has been broken off of the "piggy" face. The spring is about a magnitude six, producing a couple of gallons per minute.
To find this spring, just follow the roads to the coordinates, or follow the signs for Mariposa Greenhouses off Hardy Mountain Rd., or drive to 3705 Koochin Rd, Grand Forks.
