[Communications] Welcome to CCGA's Website

[Lorraine Kells]

Sarah,

I contacted Amy shortly after our coordinating committee ended about your
offer to help with CCGA communications which was eagerly accepted during
our meeting. Now all active members of the communications team welcome you
for however long you are able to work with us. We’re happy to have you join
us!

You asked during the meeting what is a community garden? So, again, we
generally use the following guideline: Community gardens are typically
owned or managed by public entities, civic organizations or community-based
organizations and maintained by volunteers. This may also include gardens
created and maintained by volunteers at schools, churches, fire stations.
It includes the list of neighborhood garden networks you can find in the
right-hand frame on our website. Additionally, plants grown on site are
intended only for personal use, for charity, or for community
beautification purposes.

We typically post community gatherings and events based in Chicagoland, but
from time to time, we share info about wider events. CCGA’s main focus is
community gardening, but if we think an event would appeal to gardeners, we
share it!

That said, here's hoping you can meet soon and start posting events and
updating the monthly calendar.

Regards,
The Communications Team
