Good weather will energize all of us, new as well as returning gardeners. Let's work together to ensure our community gardens are a friendly, green, safe, and fun place to unwind and recharge during these uncertain times. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:noticia text,georgia,times new roman,serif">Listen this Sunday to the Mike Nowak Show to hear Mike Strode talk about his workshop "The Offers and Needs Market." The show has been called the "greenest show on the air or in the cloud," and our other Mike is pretty green too; he is an urban cyclist. Mike Stroud has told us his grounding philosophy is mycelium, collaborative agility, empathic individualization, and all things human glue. Let's all tune in on Sunday to hear more about what all of that means for creating greater human resilience. Listen to the Mike Nowak Show on WCGO 1590 AM or 95.5 FM, Sundays from 9-11am. Tune in to hear Mike Strode from 10:30 to 10:45 a.m.</span></span></div>

We care deeply about the health and well‑being of our attendees, presenters, exhibitors, support team, and community. CCGA is closely monitoring the evolving situation regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and at this time (today), we plan to move forward with the 8th Annual Conference as planned.

By conference time (next weekend!) Spring will officially be here in Chicago, and we should hear the birdsongs of robins and blackbirds and the chirps and cackles of woodpeckers as they head here to nest in our oaks, sycamores, and in the hackberry and hickory trees. Even year-round birds like black-capped chickadees get noisier in Spring. Purple martins search for human-made nesting boxes. Who doesn’t want to continue seeing these birds and hearing those rollicking songs and flute-like excited twitters? <br>

En equipo, diseñaremos un jardín urbano estándar que mide 4 pies por 8 pies usando un tapiz a la medida. A la vez, exploraremos cómo adaptar las siguientes técnicas para los jardines chicos: combinar plantas, plantar en sucesión, hacer nuestro propio abono y conservar el agua.

<span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:noticia text,georgia,times new roman,serif">For generations, connection with community has been an integral part of healthy human culture. Our modern urban society often emphasizes the individual's responsibility to survive and thrive purely on their own volition. For many, that vital connection to community has been lost, leading to an increase in stress, social anxiety, and disconnection. This workshop’s goal is to empower individuals to invite community into their lives in accordance with their own dreams, creating a stronger, more caring culture and a shift toward a healing Earth. It will give an overview of permaculture principles and ethics and explore how these tools can be used for creative and regenerative community design. Participants will engage in discussion to identify needs of their community gardens and explore ingredients needed to bring and keep a community together. <br>
<br>
<strong>Anai Brizuela</strong> is an information enthusiast and enjoys her connection to Earth more every day. After earning her Permaculture Design Certificate in November 2018, she went on to co-found the Chicago Urban Permaculture Salon with Lori Upchurch. She is working toward cultivating a more resilient network of activists to grow a greener world.<br>
<br>
<strong>Lori Upchurch</strong> is a permaculture designer and facilitator who has been engaged in regenerative community design since 2000, with Northside Unschoolers, Great Lakes Urban Explorers, Girls Scouts of Chicago, Edge Youth Theater and now, Chicago Urban Permaculture Salon and Permaculture Chicago Teaching Institute. She is in the process of turning her rectangle of Midwest soil into a food and medicine forest and the wetlands prairie it wants to be.</span></span></div>
