>> We're catching up with new subscribers to say we're glad you joined CCGA, and just as the city is opening up, we are hosting more events. Please check out our Facebook page and our website for plenty of gardening news.  We count your participation; it's critically important to us, even necessary as we help gardeners find connection, find seeds, find soil and other resources.  
>> 
>> Recently we announced the launch of the CCGA Community Gardening Forum, 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: connecting  gardeners and our ideas at a time when we all need to be connected. 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 here  http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/2020/04/21/new-community-gardening-forum/
>> 
>> Our Summer Newsletter will go out soon, and you should receive it, but if you want to check out our April 22 Spring Newsletter, you can still find it here: https://mailchi.mp/e935ee34efad/ccga-8th-annual-gardeners-conference-register-1453838
>> 
>> Meanwhile let us know if you need anything else from CCGA.
