[Communications] Native plants Curious City question

[Amy Olson]

Hi Natalie,

Sure, 10 am Wednesday is doable! 

And we can reach out to some gardeners with deep knowledge of our ecosystem here in Chicago. I have a couple people in mind and can contact them to see if they are available. Do you need to speak with someone by Wednesday or would this be for the future potential podcast?

Thanks!
Amy

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.
