Who: For all Chicago Community Gardens. One group of plants per garden, please.

What: A variety of perennials and shrubs.

When: Friday, Sept, 29, 2017. Check-in will begin at 11:30am. Distribution will begin at noon and continue until the plants are gone.

Why: Fall is the best time to plant perennials and shrubs. The cooler weather and adequate moisture help the plants acclimate before the arrival of winter.
