[Communications] [Resources] Potting soil and plantings for Asian Human Services' summer camp students

[Amy Olson]

Hi Mary,

That’s wonderful you received a donation of soil!

As Mamie mentioned, I can add you to our Forum - watch for an invitation from CCGA shortly.
Mamie, could Mary register for the perennial distribution on Friday?

We can also make a post on our Facebook/Insta page about your project - there are over 2,800 followers.
Perhaps someone nearby could volunteer their gardening know-how.
Are you looking for help this Friday and beyond?

Kind regards,
Amy

on behalf of the CCGA communications team

The CCGA Resources and Distributions Team suggested that you join the CCGA Forum to share your project with a number of gardeners, some of whom may be located close to your summer camp and may also be Asian. To join the CCGA Forum, please email a request tocommunications at chicagocommunitygardens.org <mailto:communications at chicagocommunitygardens.org>.  Best, Mamie

We would like to make over the flower/plant beds next to our office on Peterson and California as part of our summer long earth appreciation service project. Problem is, we have no materials and no budget to purchase them.
