 You are receiving this message because you subscribe to our e-newsletter. Hi Director, Did you know you can help bring an accessible, free, year-round, nature discovery and learning experience to the West Side? You can help build: A wheel-chair accessible spiral ramp to the glass ceiling Space for visitors w/sensory processing disorders A new slide and epic climber, and a new toddler area A new family bathroom with solar panels that will double as a way to learn about renewable energy All this and much more is waiting to be built in Garfield Park with the new Elizabeth Morse Genius Children's Garden You can be part of providing a transformational nature play experience in Garfield Park where children are immersed in a world of plants, as studies show spending time in nature helps us become more inspired, healthier, and happier! As of today, we have raised $6,290,381 in support of the new EMG Children’s Garden at the Garfield Park Conservatory, surpassing our pre-pandemic goal of $5.6 million. We are grateful to the many donors who have already committed their support to this important project. Unfortunately, construction costs have exceeded the pre-pandemic project budget due to many factors, including the increased demand in the construction industry and supply chain issues. We are currently evaluating construction bids and will continue to fundraise in order to break ground as soon as possible, potentially in Spring of 2023. Help us unlock $250,000 and meet the challenge! All gifts to the EMG Children’s Garden will be matched dollar for dollar – all thanks to an anonymous matching grant. We hope you join us!
