FRIDAY NIGHTS IN OCTOBER

We’re having a traveling party to support student gardens! Bring your favorite environmentally-friendly poems, songs, stand-up routines, books, vegetables, whatever you want!

Between performances our host + will say hi to folks and sign-up community members to support, donate, and volunteer for students gardening to graduate! 🙂

10/11 Schedule

Ashburn – 1pm – 79th Western Terminal
Pullman – 3pm – 115th Metra Station

This event is sponsored by Let’s Build Garden City, a CPS service learning partner program based on the Southside. Our mission supports student gardens and promotes young people across the city growing their own food, herbs, plants, and more in new spaces.
