[Communications] Marsha — Response to Need Referral for a Gardener to a veggie garden in Wicker Park "area"

[Doug Wood]

Marsha
I’m sorry you had that experience with a Wicker Park Gardener who was working in the Maxwell Gardens.  

I added Breanne Heath who may know of space in a Park Community Garden in the Parks affiliated Garden somewhere near Damen & Division.

The other people on this note are more knowledgeable of CCGA than I am and with the west town vegetable gardens-like which ones on Wood south of Division or gardens west of Western that May have space for a new person. I spend all my time working on 10,000 Sq ft of Wicker’s ornamental gardens and work with Breanne Heath (Community Gardens in the Parks Program). 

Let me know if the others respond and find a solution. Have an excellent 2023 growing season.
