SUMMARY:Pullman Garden Tea and Tour
DESCRIPTION:20th Annual Garden Walk for Historic Pullman Garden Club\nThe Historic Pullman Garden Club\, with co-sponsors the Historic Pullman Foundation and Pullman State Historic Site\, invite you back to the Victorian era of the 1880s during the Garden Tea and Tour on Saturday June 28\, 2014\, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. \nVictorians passed the summer days more leisurely than we do today and so can you\, as you step back in time within this picturesque neighborhood. Tickets include a light summer-themed tea\, including finger sandwiches\, home-baked sweets and strawberries\, all accompanied by refreshing iced tea or lemonade. \nYou can enjoy one of the guided walking tours of the historic district (departing at 11:30 and 1:30)\, or use the self-guided tour map and stroll at your own pace. The tour will wind through the row house lined blocks to visit the public gardens\, select personal gardens\, plus the newest addition to the district\, a community food garden. \nThe tea and tour showcases the entrance to the Pullman Historic District\, our beloved Gateway Garden. Over a decade ago the Gateway Garden was funded through a grant from the Chicago Botanic Gardens\, making it possible\, through a collective effort of neighbors\, to clear\, plan and plant an empty lot fallen victim to urban blight. Gateway Garden is now a haven to butterflies\, honey bees and lovers of growing things\, and is a part of the NeighborSpace community garden network. \nTickets for the event are $12 in advance by emailing historicpullmangardens@gmail.com or calling (773) 568-2441 until June 26th\, and $15 on the day of the event. The day begins at the Historic Pullman Visitor Center\, 11141 South Cottage Grove Avenue\, Chicago. The Pullman Historic District can be reached by taking the 111th Street exit west off of I-94 or via the Metra Electric Train Line\, exiting on the 111th St/Pullman stop.

Upon completion of the course she assisted in the redesign of the gardens at Inspiration Kitchens’ gardens (no longer extant)\, the public landscaping along East Garfield Park’s business corridor at Lake and Kedzie\, and the Martin Luther King Peace Path to name a few of her projects. \nBesides being a permaculture designer and teacher\, AnnaMaria is also an edible landscaper\, Traditional Chinese Feng Shui consultant\, and received training as a Master Gardener and Master Composter through UIC – Extension. \nWishing to understand the principles behind Urban Agriculture’s approach to production and farming in the city\, she completed the Chicago Botanic Garden / Windy City Harvest certificate in Sustainable Horticulture and Agriculture in October 2013. Through this training she interned at the Vocational Rehabilitation Impact Center (VRIC)\, a division of Cook County’s Sheriff’s Department where she assisted the Head Grower in all areas of food production and processing\, maintained an integrated aquaculture system\, and installed ornamental\, native\, and meditation gardens. Part of the internship was to interface with non-violent inmates and engage them in proper gardening procedures and horticulture therapy. \nCurrent projects include the Greening of 16th Street in North Lawndale\, the creation of a production garden and permaculture orchard in the MLK Historic District\, and the design and installation of permaculture plantings in Millennium Park with Christy Webber Landscapes where she is helping launch their Edible Landscaping Division.
