About the Event

We are part of the team of Garden Leaders running the garden, as well as growing a Commons in 6 beds and creating other educational and fun workshops and events!

Our plots include:

  • Beds of natives with plants donated from Loyola's Urban Agriculture Program
  • Bed of edibles from Loyola and Chicago Community Gardeners Association Donations and distributed to volunteers as well as the Edgewater Mutual Aid Network's weekly free food distribution
  • An apothecary herbal medicine plot
  • An ecofeminist garden

We also help tend to the community garden, with tasks including rash pick-up in common areas, weeding around the perimeter, and spreading wood chips / compost.

If you are a new gardener and interested in a plot please complete this waitlist form.
