Hi CCGA"ers,
I have physically been unable to do very much lately so I don't know if we
have sent this information below to our email list or if it was in
something else that was  CCGA sent. If you can please send it out to as
many gardeners as possible.

 Hopefully I'll be able to do more ...eventually!
Julie

The Chicago Excellence in Gardening Awards (CEGA) are back for 2022 and,
after two pandemic years, once again IN PERSON! CEGA is Chicago's only
citywide gardening program, honoring gardens throughout the City. Whether
backyard, courtyard, parkway, rooftop, school, business, community garden
or urban farm, CEGA wants to recognize hard work and creativity and the
myriad ways that gardens improve our quality of life.

Since 2017, CEGA has recognized more than 150 gardens representing 43 wards
and 76 communities. We’re returning from the COVID-19 limitations with a
goal of seeing gardens in all 50 wards! (We’ll even acknowledge the ward
with the most winners!) Our judging crews are looking for beauty,
horticultural skill, community connections and sustainability in
determining which gardens will be acknowledged.

Entries are being accepted through July 1 at
https://chicagogardeningawards.org/, where you can find rules and an fill
out an online entry form. There are no cash prizes, but it's FREE to enter,
and honored gardens will receive certificates and beautiful all-weather
signs that can be displayed outside year-round at an awards ceremony now
scheduled for September. And, of course, bragging rights in their
neighborhoods.

Enter your garden today! If you have any questions, please write to me at
mike at mikenowak.net.
