[Communications] Native plants Curious City question

[Natalie Dalea]

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your quick response! Could you get me the info by 10am on Wednesday? I’m in the preliminary stages of reporting so this is to help me make a pitch. If I get enough info then we might turn it into a radio/podcast story. On that note, is there anyone who might be able to hop on the phone with more for ~20 minutes to tell me more about Chicago’s natural environment? Our listener is also really curious about how plants grow in such harsh conditions here.

Sincerely,
Natalie Dalea

Hello,

I’m researching a story about whether the plants people can see growing around Chicago, like around the train tracks or in concrete cracks, are native to the area. Is there someone with Chicago Community Gardens who would be able to help me learn more about Chicago’s native plants?

Sincerely,
Natalie Dalea
