   Our best line of defense is to stay home. If you need to visit your garden, keep yourself and your community safe by following these guidelines.

Hello gardeners!

We hope you're doing well and staying safe and healthy during this challenging time. We have all been thinking about how to best interact with our community gardens during the Illinois stay-at-home order, and we're writing to share a resource we hope you find helpful.

We know that when we shelter in place, we are doing what’s best for our communities and fellow Chicagoans. We strongly encourage everyone to stay home to help ‘flatten the curve’ and limit the spread of this virus. Remember that every contact you don’t make with another person could save many lives.

If you do need to visit your garden, please be vigilant about staying safe and practicing social distancing. Our partner NeighborSpace has developed a useful set of guidelines that we fully support. We strongly encourage gardeners to follow these guidelines for the duration of the governor’s order and possibly beyond.

Here is a pdf you can download, print, and share.

Stay tuned for our Spring newsletter. We'll be sharing some resources, activities, and adventures gardeners can embark on while at home, awaiting the time when we can once again enjoy our gardens and each other freely.

Be well and stay safe everyone!
CCGA
