[Communications] Upcoming Seed Swap & Workshop - Humboldt Park Branch

Fri Feb 23 09:27:56 CST 2024

Hi Lorraine,

Thanks again for posting information about the swap - I think it really got some traction!

I also wanted to see if you had any info about CCGA that you wanted to share at the Swap. We have a number of great organizations tabling or dropping off brochures/materials. It's a great way to spread the word about your organization. Let me know if this this of interest! Absolutely no pressure, I just wanted to reach out and see.

Thanks!

Want to grow some plants but not sure what? Have more seeds than you need? Come to our seed swap, where you can pick up free seeds or drop off your extras!
We have a variety of seeds - vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The Field Museum has also kindly donated native seeds, great for butterflies and other local wildlife.
We will also have guests from UIC Heritage Garden on hand to answer your questions as well!
