8th Annual CCGA Gardeners Conference – Saturday March 21, 2020

Our 2020 conference, will be on Saturday, March 21 at light-filled Whitney M. Young Magnet High School on the near west side. This years’ conference promises to be an inspiring day filled with workshops, networking, exhibitors, good food and friends!

Update: All conference details are HERE.

This year’s theme “Connections through Gardening: Plants, People and the Environment,” aims to explore and celebrate the interconnectedness of our shared garden work and to foster relationships and conversations that shape and support best practices for sustainable living and growing in Chicago.

Community gardens are increasingly seen as a viable means of promoting restoration, transformation, and conservation of often abandoned or under used property in the city. They have become a powerful tool for promoting good nutrition, physical activity, environmental stewardship, and social connections.
