SUMMARY:Tour a Four-Year Old Forest Garden in the City
DESCRIPTION:Come tour a four-year old Forest Garden in a very urban Chicago front and backyard. Now is the best time to see the structure since all the vegetation has not leafed out yet. \nThis two hour tour will include a walking lecture on \n\nthe specifics of how the forest garden was built\nwhich fruit tree varieties were chosen\nfruit tree guilds\nuse of salvaged materials\nearthworks\nlocation of zones and sectors\ndiscuss ongoing issues and further developments\n\nAs a bonus\, see a 3 year old community garden being built using permaculture regenerative techniques. \nThis tour is limited to only 10 people so everyone’s questions may be answered. \nLocation: North Lawndale\, Chicago — address will be given to you upon RSVP. \nBiography: Annamaria Leon completed her Permaculture Design Course under the tutelage of Peter Bane\, Keith Johnson\, and Rhonda Baird in Bloomington\, IN in Fall 2011. Upon completion of the course she assisted in the redesign of the gardens at Inspiration Kitchens’ gardens (no longer extant)\, the public landscaping along East Garfield Park’s business corridor at Lake and Kedzie\, and the Martin Luther King Peace Path to name a few of her projects. \nBesides being a permaculture designer and teacher\, AnnaMaria is also an edible landscaper\, Traditional Chinese Feng Shui consultant\, and received training as a Master Gardener and Master Composter through UIC – Extension. \nWishing to understand the principles behind Urban Agriculture’s approach to production and farming in the city\, she completed the Chicago Botanic Garden / Windy City Harvest certificate in Sustainable Horticulture and Agriculture in October 2013. Through this training she interned at the Vocational Rehabilitation Impact Center (VRIC)\, a division of Cook County’s Sheriff’s Department where she assisted the Head Grower in all areas of food production and processing\, maintained an integrated aquaculture system\, and installed ornamental\, native\, and meditation gardens. Part of the internship was to interface with non-violent inmates and engage them in proper gardening procedures and horticulture therapy. \nCurrent projects include the Greening of 16th Street in North Lawndale\, the creation of a production garden and permaculture orchard in the MLK Historic District\, and the design and installation of permaculture plantings in Millennium Park with Christy Webber Landscapes where she is helping launch their Edible Landscaping Division.

SUMMARY:The Newberry Library Colloquium -- City in a Garden: Uncovering the History of Urban Agriculture in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Courtney Wiersema\, Graduate Scholar in Residence & PhD Candidate\, University of Notre Dame \nThough nineteenth-century Chicago is often remembered for its stockyards and grain elevators\, these industrial food systems represented just some of the many ways that the city’s residents put food on the table. A diverse group of Chicagoans also practiced urban agriculture\, using backyards and side streets to raise pigs\, chickens\, fruits\, and vegetables. This talk will use source materials available at the Newberry to explore the practice and meaning of agriculture in Chicago. \nIn the Towner Fellows’ Lounge.

SUMMARY:Beekeeping for Community Gardeners and Urban Farmers
DESCRIPTION:The March meeting of the Roseland-Pullman Urban Agriculture and Community Garden Network will feature beekeeper Marc Korton discussing “Beekeeping for Community Gardeners and Urban Farmers.” \nMarc Korton has been an urban beekeeper for over 30 years. He maintains nearly two dozen hives in his Pullman backyard and in the southern suburbs of Chicago. In a good year\, his bee colonies produce over a thousand pounds of honey and pollinate millions of wildflowers and plants in the process. \nThis presentation will introduce local community gardeners and urban farmers to the fascinating world of “apiculture” (beekeeping) and how it can greatly improve the productivity and health of your gardens/farms. Marc will guide through the process of establishing a bee colony and the types of skills and equipment needed to care for a colony. He will be bringing some of his tools of the trade and some of his recent crop of honey. \nAll are welcome.
