Hi CCGA folks,

Just a reminder that this Thursday, April 29 from 6-7pm, CCGA is hosting a Zoom panel featuring our own May Toy!

Here’s the info:

Sharing Notes: A Continuing Community Gardeners Discussion with Chicago community garden leaders May Toy of 

Skinner Park Advisory Council

, Kasey Eaves of

Montrose Metra Community Gardens, and Paula Acevedo of 

El Paseo Community Garden

. Moderated by Breanne Heath, Senior Program Specialist in Gardening at the

Chicago Park District.

The panel discussion with these experienced community gardeners at our conference on March 20 was not only thoroughly enjoyed, but the panelists were praised for their honesty, openness, and frankness. You told us, “It could have gone on forever.” Well, we've heard you and this outstanding panel is coming together again for a one-hour Zoom event on April 29!

Gardeners are invited to share questions and experiences and the panelists will again share insights from their years of “in the trenches” experience covering many facets of community gardening, from managing gardens to a whole new range of topics including the role gardens can play in bigger-picture advocacy work.

A $15 suggested donation includes access to the recorded session, as well as the 2-hour recorded session from the conference on March 20. We will email registrants the Zoom meeting info prior to the event. Thank you for supporting CCGA's educational programs!
