Hello! My name is Lu, I'm a student at Loyola and a member of the Rogers Park community. Over the summer, I interned at the Hello Howard Community Garden and got to know the community on a more personal level. I received news yesterday that there is a development
project that is planning on tearing down the garden to fulfill their "economic recovery plan". I have been reaching out to different groups that understand the importance of community gardens in communities because I know a lot of community members do not
want to sit down and let this development happen. I am wondering if you have any knowledge, resources, or people you can direct me to that can help me understand how to tackle this problem. There is a community meeting on Tuesday, Oct 15 at 6pm at Gale Academy
I will be attending along with other garden leaders. I know it's short notice, but seeing as you are a group that supports community gardens, I would love to hear your feedback on this issue.</div>
