Ginkgo Organic Gardens celebrates 20 years outgrowing hunger!

Ginkgo Organic Gardens is an all-volunteer community garden in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood that grows fruits and vegetables for those in need using only organic methods. Since 1994, Ginkgo has been out-growing hunger by donating our harvests to local hunger fighting organizations. In recent years we have donated 1,000 – 1,500 pounds of produce annually to Vital Bridges GroceryLand, a food pantry that serves low-income persons living with HIV.

On Saturday, July 12th, Ginkgo will raise a trowel and raise a glass to two decades of service. Please join us for a workday in the morning, a reception at noon, and a late lunch in the afternoon. Drop by at any time, leave at any time, but take a weed with you when you go.

Schedule:
9:00 – 12:00 Harvest and workday (at Ginkgo, 4055 N Kenmore)
12:30 – 3:00 Dedication, reception and light snacks (at Ginkgo, 4055 N Kenmore)
3:00 – onward Late lunch (at Ten Cat Tavern, 3931 N Ashland Ave)

(Note: there is a Cubs game at Wrigley Field on the 12th. We encourage you to take public transportation rather than driving.)
