Hello Elizabeth,

Your email invitation to connect with us at CCGA is welcome and
appreciated. We want to begin discussions with you to see the many ways in
which we may connect and continue to support growing communities.

Our science and research based programs, informative workshops and
community garden wide distributions have always supported community growers
with increasing attention to advocacy for food security and
equitable distribution of resources.

The Grow Your Groceries sounds a bit like a grow kit we made with recycled
egg cartons, seed starter mix, seed mix and an instruction booklet we put
together for  kids at our Spring Conference in 2019.  Our conferences have
been held virtually since then; in 2021 we offered presentations on urban
community food forests as well as  a new community food navigator app.

Let us know what you have in mind and we can certainly set up a zoom in
our room with you and any of your staff.

I'm including a link here to our latest newsletter so you can readily see
what we have going on for the near future.
https://us14.campaign-archive.com/?u=7f2904daf2a26a891c68f8bb0&id=54c4dc7203

Warmest Regards,
Lorraine Kells, Co-Chair, CCGA Education Committee
and Communications Team volunteer.

Hi Lorraine,

Thank you so much for following up. It sounds like there might be some good
opportunities to support each other. As a newer collaborative working our
way into the gardening community of Chicago, I am hoping to learn more
about what is happening and where Chicago Grows Food might be able to
support gaps as well as grow as an organization. Additionally, we are
always looking for ways to engage more partnerships and reach as many
interested gardeners as possible.

Next Tuesday, January 10th in the afternoon or any time next Thursday
January 12th would work great for me to meet.

Looking forward to connecting.

Best,

Elizabeth Berkeley

Hello, gardening friends!

Are you interested in some seeds for your organization?

Kasey will be working with the Chicago Botanic Garden's Seed Swap on Sat,
Jan. 21st. *Historically, there's been a massive amount of seeds left on
the tables at the end of the event. *So we'd like to invite a number of
non-profit groups to pick up any seeds left at the end of the day.

The seed swap will be open to members of the public from 2pm - 4pm, and be
warned, it will be BUSY! You are welcome to participate in the public
exchange but we will wait to pull things for your organizations until after
the public swap is complete. *You can learn more about the public event
here: https://www.chicagobotanic.org/calendar/event/seedswap
<https://www.chicagobotanic.org/calendar/event/seedswap>*

*Details for the end of day pickup*:

   - *Location:* Chicago Botanic Garden, Burnstein Hall and Krehbiel Gallery
   - *Date: *Saturday, January 21
   - *Time*: 4pm - 4:30pm; please be at the hall no later than 4:30pm at
   the absolute latest
   - Both flower and vegetable seeds will be available in abundance.
   - We encourage you to bring boxes to help transport your seeds home, or
   even a cart if needed. There will be A LOT of seeds!

*If you would like to participate, please reply to this email with the name
of whoever will be coming. Please RSVP by the end of the day on Tues, Jan.
17th*.  We'll make sure that person is noted with the gate house, so you
will receive free admission upon arrival. If you want to come early to
explore the garden on your own, you are welcome to do so.

If you know of another branch within your organization or any other local
groups who you think we should contact about this opportunity, please let
us know!

Hello again all you Chicago CCGA folks and Elizabeth,

We are trying to coordinate a zoom meeting with Elizabeth and CCGA
interested networking group chairs and team members.   Angela may join us
if we move the zoom to Thursday 1/19 at 10 am.  Elizabeth stated she can
make that time slot and I'm good with that switch.  Please confirm this new
time is convenient for you, if you can choose to join and I'll forward the
zoom room link on the 18th with a reminder.  Any suggestions for an agenda
Elizabeth or others joining?

Best from sunny Chestnut Hill, PA,
Lorraine

Hi All,

That works great for me, I will block it off on my calendar. I would love
some space to introduce myself and the organization if you all are not
familiar. And then also hear about what the CCGA focus areas are. I am
excited for the potential opportunities to support each other.

Thanks,

Hello Lorraine

I am unable to attend and wonder if I register if someone can pickup for us

assistance at this time and we REALLY need seed donation this year...
Thanking everyone in advance.??

Hello,

I hope to see all or most of you tomorrow morning in our zoom room 10am
CST.  We're gathering to meet Elizabeth, Director of Chicago Grows Food.
 The agenda is simple and doesn't need a document form.  Elizabeth will
tell us about the non profit and those in the room for CCGA can speak about
their involvement in the working groups, and we'll let the flow take us
where it will.  If you notice that I missed anyone, please let me know.

Olivia, you are a newbie, so don't feel obligated to join in everything.
You are welcome anytime, and may opt out anytime.

Hi advocacy-outreach at chicagocommunitygardens.org.

 

I wasn't sure if you had seen the error report for your Website listing or
not but when I come across your website while checking 3-4 pages of Google
Result, I found some issues in your website which can be resolved by
yourself even if you are not so much technical.

 

So if you give me the permission, I would love to share you report for your
website https://chicagocommunitygardens.org without any charge.

 

May I send it to you?

 

Thanks,

 

Chany

 gardening and social well being - Survey closes tomorrow
Message-ID: <4108E1B8-6357-43FE-8B40-C73ECD206A88@me.com>

Hi everyone,

CCGA received a request via Facebook Messenger from a fellow community gardener about a survey her son developed. The survey closes tomorrow, Jan 22 and takes 10 minutes. Below is the info if you?re interested in doing a survey for his project:

Link to survey:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYs0x7HB3PtCCbtSZlWRO7Ie8LVaR5NkBrnj5WTiJ4ylyOSw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Message from Ann Kauth from Merchant Park Community Garden:

Thank you for your message! The survey was developed by my son, Sam Osorio, for his Advanced Placement (AP) Research Course at Lane Tech High School. The AP Research course teaches students how design, plan, and conduct a year-long research based investigation to address a research question. The data collected is anonymous and will be used to teach Sam how to analyze, write up, and present research findings. Sam is looking for Chicago area community gardeners to take a survey about their experience gardening and its relationship to social well-being. I started Merchant Park Community Garden in 2011 with some neighbors. We are a NeighborSpace garden and Sam has been gardening there since he was 7.

By the way, here's the write up he used to communicate about the survey with Merchant Park Community Gardeners: "My name is Samuel Osorio, I am a senior at Lane Tech and am currently conducting a research project about social well-being amongst community gardeners of Chicago. I focused on you all because of the aftermath of the COVID-19 quarantine which may have impacted many of you socially, and because of the need for more research about social well-being amongst Chicago community gardeners. All of your information will be private, all responses will be completely anonymous with no names or emails being associated with your form response. That being said, I am very interested in your completely honest answers to these questions because of how valuable your opinions are to this field of research."

This form attached in this email will be closing on January 20th, 2023, thank you for your participation in this important research, which I hope can be used to further understand the importance of community gardens in urban areas, and the importance of all of your participation in these community gardens.

Thank you once again!

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns: sam.osorio at icloud.com

Hi CCGA Team,

I really enjoyed meeting many of you last week and appreciate you taking
the time to hear about Chicago Grows Food. I am looking forward to all of
the opportunities for us to support each other.

Per your interest, I have attached the publication for the research that
was conducted on the Grow Your Groceries Grow Kit programming from 2020 and
also the most recent report on the Grow Your Groceries Home Garden
programming from 2022. You can also find both of them on our website here -
www.chicagogrowsfood.org/publications/
<https://www.chicagogrowsfood.org/publications/>

I would love to be able to follow up with Ellen to discuss potential
strategies to support each other's work with in kind material donations.
And will also figure out how to come pick up the bricks that you have Julie.

Please let me know if you have any questions or think of any upcoming
spaces where Chicago Grows Food can support your work.

See some of you on Saturday at the Community Food Navigator event!

Thanks,
Elizabeth Berkeley

Subject: [Advocacy-outreach] POLLING for Information from CCGA Friends
Message-ID: <CALFbf0RfpcLJzc7VJLViOt+VC6SvoPnNjjrVKhjywwkj-GZzfQ@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings CCGA friends,
Reaching out to you for some help and sharing of information.

Maxwell Garden needs to determine how to deal with members who signed an
agreement last season to complete a certain number of volunteer hours and
watering shifts during the season.

Our members have the option to buy-down part of their volunteer hours, but
as we are a community garden that requires a lot of overall maintenance,
they are still required to participate and complete a certain number of
hours.

Obviously, there are exceptions to our base requirement for the elderly or
anyone who has an illness or disabilities.

Also struggling with Board members who fail to follow through on their
volunteer hours and overall commitments, including abandoning their plots
because they are traveling too much to maintain them.

It's not my intent to start a huge "round robin" of responses and clog
everyone's emails.

If you have something to share, please reply only to me individually.

Many thanks in advance !

Marsha
Maxwell Street Garden

This group has done what they say is a lot of helping people in Chicago
grow their own food . It makes me think there should be a way we could
collaborate and maybe cut the corners we may have at CCGA.
