CCGA invites you to co-host a How Does Your Garden Grow? event in your community garden this Spring!

CCGA invites you to co-host a How Does Your Garden Grow? event in your community garden this Spring!

CCGA is stepping into spring with a new vision of how we can gather. We’re inviting you, Chicago’s community gardeners, to co-host a series of events with us – for gardeners across the city to learn about and experience community gardening, right in our gardens!

spring series: how do we wake up our garden?

  • Late April & May
  • Event proposals due by Thurs. March 30

fall series: how do we put our garden to bed?

  • September & October
  • Event proposals due by Fri. July 14

what ccga can do!

CCGA will partner with community gardens that host an event. Based on your proposal, we will offer support that may include:

  • A food allowance
  • Material support (i.e. port-a-potty or seating)
  • Suggestions for panel or workshop speakers
  • Technical and marketing support (flyers, registration, maps)
  • Other event-specific support

To learn more about becoming an event host, visit http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/2023-event-series
