On Sunday, March 13th from 11am to 1pm at Caldwell Woods Warming Shelter (located at 6350 N. Devon Ave.), we will be hosting a gardening expo promoting sustainable gardening practices. From 11-12, we will have a vendor fair with local organizations and a presentation by Conservation at Home will follow. The goal of this program is to connect Chicago residents to resources in the area and encourage more green spaces outside of the forest preserves. Because of this we would love to have a representative from Chicago Community Gardeners Association to speak with participants to provide alternatives for residents without outdoor space. Is this something your organization can participate in? Let me know if you have any further questions!

On *Sunday, March 13th from 11am to 1pm at Caldwell Woods Warming Shelter (located at 6350 N. Devon Ave.)*, they will be hosting a gardening expo promoting sustainable gardening practices. From 11-12, we will have a vendor fair with local organizations I am willing to work at a table they will provide for us as a good way to further promote CCGA and what we do and promote our conference with flyers. I hope there will be one or two others joining me. It is not only an education event, but I see it as advocacy and outreach as well. If Resources has anything to add, we can announce upcoming distributions.
