She is someone who requested how CCGA might partner with them around their 5th grade summer social justice course: Food Access and Equity. Anyone is welcome to join, but the room has been scheduled. Amy just forwarded a request from Ms Vera Watson today to see if we can get her looped into some of the opportunities that are available for community gardens in Austin. She is planning some educational events We receive these requests for CCGA participation often enough now that responding to them must be a concerted effort from all of our teams. Mamie and I have had to turn away requests with not enough turnaround time, but we have a wealth of contacts to share in UIExt, Master Gardeners, and more and we did refer people. The requests come to CCGA with specific needs and dates, but the overall The zoom tomorrow will be an opportunity to begin the discussion with what CCGA can undertake. This is just a first step. If you can't attend or don't want to just yet, no problem, but we need to take this up in the committees that can offer resources, send advisers, and in the coordinating committee to pull it all together.

I am passionate about helping people start community gardens in Chicago! So our committee will work with you first to learn where you would like to do this, if you have contacted any residents in the area and what you would need to start this - such as helping to organize a local garden committee and what is physically involved in starting and maintaining a garden in the city. This is such a good time of the year to start a garden and I strongly hope you will be able to do it!
