[Communications] Request for gardeners for a study

[Lorraine Kells]

Anadil,

We have recently worked on a project with the Inner-City Musli Action
Network in Chicago.  Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN)

is located at 2744 W. 63rdSt. Chicago, IL 60629.  They have many social
justice programs including their Backyard Garden which began growing and
harvesting fresh produce in Spring 2018. This garden is a community
organized garden not only used for growing fruits and vegetables, but as an
outdoor education space and model for sustainability in inner-city
communities.  Our most recent contact at the end of 2020 was with Sara.
You may reach her at *Sara at imancentral.org* <Sara at imancentral.org>

We recommend you check out their website

Regards,

Lorraine Kells
