[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] Fwd: Garden Clubs of Illinois 2025 Convention

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello,

There are many garden clubs out in the suburbs for home gardeners to find
commonality, information, perhaps even resources. They privide members with
flower design, civic beautification, garden walks, etc. Check out their
website.

CCGA is a network of citywide community gardeners. So we are committed to
growing food, not ornamentals, or hosting flower shows.

Lisle is quite a drive and April is a busy time for CCGA folks gearing up
for the season. All those dried stalks need to be cleared, shrubs need
pruning, rats eliminated.

Finally, a few of us don't drive at all, so the lack of response is just
what it is.

Lorraine
