<p class="MsoNormal">I think we should reach out first with a positive piece about spring and gardens and seeds and after providing some suggestions and information about starting seeds (and seed sources - from our CCGA conference maybe?) we can send (attach)
the Covid19 information. Everything that's going out to read now is heavy and negative. I think we could and should lighten it a little. That's what gardening is for, right?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi CCGA working groups,<br>
<br>
Attached is a pdf flyer with some guidelines for community gardens in Chicago. <br>
This was developed by NeighborSpace, many thanks for their efforts!<br>
I helped with the design and some edits.<br>
<br>
The communications team will share this on Facebook, post on the website and include the info in our next newsletter.<br>
<br>
Please reach out with any thoughts or questions.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
