Hi Lorraine,
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thank you for this e-mail. I did try to message the Advocacy and Outreach team, but kept receiving a message that <a href="mailto:advocacy-outreach@chicagocommunitygardens.org" aria-label="advocacy-outreach@chicagocommunitygarden.org (opens in a new tab)" target="_blank">advocacy-outreach@chicagocommunitygarden.org</a>
</div>
<div>
was not a working e-mail address. I copied the contact information this from your website-have I made an error here?
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thank you again,
</div>
<div>
Sharon

We count on your participation; it's critically important to us, even necessary as we help gardeners find connection, find seeds, find soil and other resources. We announced the launch of the CCGA Community Gardening Forum well over a year ago, so, if you haven't already joined or have questions about how to start seeds, where to find a plot in a garden or a brilliant idea to share, that is what the forum is all about </span><a href="http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/2020/04/21/new-community-gardening-forum/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/2020/04/21/new-community-gardening-forum/</a><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> It's interesting to see what perplexes gardeners. What's nibbling on my plants? Does anyone want liriope? It's open to all gardeners in and around Chicago and was created by CCGA as a safe space to share questions, knowledge, ideas and have discussions. You can see our guidelines and sign up. </span>
