Come give flowers and vegetables some love and TLC and connect with the community at the Monarch Community Garden, near West Town and Humboldt Park.
Volunteers will help with garden maintenance, watering, weeding, spruce things up, and chat with your fellow earth loving volunteers and community gardeners. This will be a fun and social event. If you want to go the extra mile, you can also sing to the flowers and give back massage to the butterflies, or anything else to make the garden beautiful and welcoming for the community.
The forecast for Saturday will be 85 degrees with a chance of an isolated shower, so bring your big hat, sun screens, comfortable clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Bring a couple bottles of water or other liquid to stay hydrated. If you have your own gardening gloves, or small gardening tools, bring those as well as the site may not have enough for all the volunteers.
The Monarch Community Garden is a plot-based garden in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, made possible through a generous land use agreement with Norwegian American Hospital. Since 2011, the garden has provided a place for local community members to grow fresh vegetables, be a way-station for migrating monarch butterflies and provide space for research on the health effects of urban gardening. http://monarchcommunitygarden.com
