[Communications] Chicago Community Gardening Guide

[Lorraine Kells]

Ryan,

Do we ever!  The CCGA Complete Outline for BASIC STEPS TO STARTING
A COMMUNITY GARDEN IN CHICAGO is a 12-page start to stop information,
instructional, and reference guide and just full of plain good advice to
take to heart.

Fair warning however; it was developed quite a while ago and while all the
instruction is good, some of the urls may be outdated, so let us know if
you find one that isn't good.  We were in the midst of designing a new
course, "A Growing Gathering" with this outline when everything just went
the way of COVID19 shutdown.

One of the original authors of this great guide is Julie Samuels, still an
active organizer. She is included in the reply all.  For garden questions
any one from Amy, myself and JW Glass can assist.

Regards,
Lorraine
