[Communications] 2023 garden

[Amy Olson]

Hi Candice!

We don’t currently have a list of gardens actively seeking new members or ones that have open plots. We could post a message on our social channels asking if there are community gardens seeking new members. We do get requests like yours from time to time and want to help!

In the meantime, here are some links:

The areas you mentioned in your message contain a lot of community gardens! Perhaps you could check out these maps and then visit a few of them:

Here’s a really great map of gardens and urban farms in Chicago:

We also have a map (in progress!) on the CCGA website:

If you visit a garden and need help finding a contact person, please let us know.

You mentioned Avondale, which has an amazing gardening community!
