PROGRAMS
Gardening
Two types of beds: private allotment beds or collective beds. Collective beds eliminate waiting lists for allotment beds and allow anyone to get involved. Free food beds are included on the perimeter of the collective beds for visitors.[1]
Compost
We are part of Chicago’s Community Compost Pilot Project! Help us divert food scraps from land fills and help our garden grow! You can drop off up to one gallon of compost during stewardship days starting April 23rd from 11am to 1 pm.[2]
PROJECTS
The garden plans to add a dog run, nature play area for kids, community stage, fitness area, and several more gathering spaces and plants to their half acre expansion within the next few years as funding is secured.
