Going Green at the Taste of Chicago

Hello and welcome back to the blog of Andrew and Scott Hoefler. Sorry about the time away, but we have been enjoying ourselves at the Taste of Chicago. That is one of the perks of this job.

Cook County Extension is part of the City of Chicago's Going Green display at the taste. The Going Green area gives people ideas on how to live a more environmentally sound lifestyle. Cook County Extension has a display of compost and worm bins. Extension also has twelve water conserving earthboxes planted with flowers and vegetables. There is also a Ask a Master Gardener Table manned by Cook County Master Gardeners. A number of Cook County educators will be presenting workshops at the Going Green tent. The exhibit was a big hit and was bustling with people.
