[Communications] Interested in getting involved with gardens

[Amy Olson]

Hi Isaiah!

We can definitely help connect you with some community gardens in Logan Square and Humboldt Park. There are a number of gardens with individual plots/membership and also a few non-profit projects that grow food for the community. I’m a grower in Humboldt Park myself and am happy to meet up with you to chat more about it. I can also send you a list of gardens in the area.

Have a great weekend!
Amy

On behalf of the CCGA communications team

Last year I grew 1080 pounds of produce at CCA in our permaculture system, and I maintain native bioswales, fruit orchards and vegetable beds. I also have a wealth of experience with animal care including bees, chickens, fish and various insects, as well as experience in community engagement. Due to my work I have a wealth of knowledge and resources to draw from and contribute.
