[Communications] Welcome to CCGA

[Sahana Bawa]

Hi Lorraine,

Thank you so much! I am awaiting your response! I am currently a high
school senior and want to get involved in fostering community gardens all
over Chicago. I live in the Northern Suburbs and was wondering if you all
have any resources for starting a community garden around here. I am
looking for areas and local communities that would be open to the idea and
willing to build/keep up with gardens. Let me know!

Thank you,
Sahana Bawa
