The March 7th CCGA Annual Conference was a great success, with over 220 community gardeners and friends attending to enjoy a multitude of workshops and exhibitor’s information booths.

Now, on into our gardening season!  Our April 11th meeting will start with breakout sessions for the 6 new CCGA committees (Resources, Membership, Volunteers, Development, Workshops & Education, and Website & Communication). You are welcome to sit in on one (or more – if you want to split your time) of the sessions. We will all be planning the rest of this calendar year for CCGA and would love your participation.

After this, the whole group will get together for a brief report from each breakout session. Then, for a $5.00 donation, you will receive, beautiful spring flowering plants, lots of packets of seeds, and a raffle ticket for good used garden tools.

This will all happen at the Chicago Center for Green Technology, 435 North Sacramento Blvd.

Tentative schedule:
9:00-9:30: Gardeners check in, chat, and have coffee/tea and homemade cookies
9:30-10:30: CCGA individual committee’s breakout sessions
10:30-11:15: Committees report to the whole group
11:15-noon: Plants, seeds and tool raffle

Please register at this link before April 7th
