Here are just two talking points. More to come Monday.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">1) The ordinance requires owner occupied land/property only to be covered and "free" from fines. So any garden planted for pollinators, even "empty" lots used for native planting or Monarch sanctuaries are excluded. There is no value to the native garden registry. It's basically an out for the City to continue to erroneously ticket gardners. The current "weed" ordinance already states that if a plant (or garden) is managed and maintained then it's NOT a weed...which is the same language as the registry. Gardeners are mindful people who do this because they are gardeners!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">2) Some language seems to be borrowed from weed ordinance. Bad news. This is a proposed band-aid to the weed audience, not a true native plant registry. This proposed ordinance will allow only plants no higher than 10 inches. Spending time on wildflower seed websites, the best I can find is mature height is 12". The other option is search by 6". Most native plants with a mature height of 10" would not be true natives, but variants called nativars. These are native plants selected and hybridized genetically. Have you seen the orange echinacea? It does not grow naturally. Horticultural language makes this confusing. Natives are found growing naturally, prior to European settlement. Non natives are typically introduced intentionally or by accident.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><b>The power of diversity is lost!</b></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3) <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">It seems that this proposal is more problematic than a solution. Only a few instances of these tickets can be found, and they have been in a truly nuisance backyard and unmaintained parkways (and also this proposal does not touch parkways). </span> </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>OK more Tuesday. Before Tuesday, if you know a community gardener who also grows at home who would be opposed to this garden, friends, landscapers, block clubs, garden clubs who would oppose this ordinance as it stands, want more citizen/public input, especially garden consultation when any ordinance touching green space is being drafted, NOT after, would want different language. Please let Amy & Lorraine know. We are seeking more people to sign on to a letter. A draft of the letter is in the works.</div><div><br></div><div>Lorraine</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 27, 2021, 2:48 PM Mamie Gray via Education <<a href="mailto:education@chicagocommunitygardens.org" target="_blank">education@chicagocommunitygardens.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><b>Subject:</b> <b>Action Alert: Join us for a Town Hall to support Native Gardening in Chicago!</b><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<div><span style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(29,28,29)">Since the Department of the Environment was dissolved in 2011, weed citations have increased, resulting in a number of cases where native gardeners were fined $600. Residents and local sustainability organizations have been cited, which has the perverse consequence of discouraging native plantings that can reduce basement flooding, help purify the air, and provide habitat for wildlife, like the monarch butterfly. The Managed Native Garden Registry would allow Chicagoans to register planted native gardens on their properties at no cost, shielding them from these citations and fines.</span></div>
