Happy Spring Master Gardeners!

Garden in a City, America's first garden and landscape design show focusing on urban horticulture and the greening of urban communities will debut in Chicago's Grant Park, May 13-May 21. (Check out the website www.chicagoparkdistrict.comand click on Garden in a City)

The display's focus will be Community Gardens around the city and the steps/resources needed to set one up! Master Gardeners are going to staff the Greening Networkdisplay. The display's focus will be Community Gardens around the city and the steps/resources needed to set one up!

Although the show will be open everyday from 10:00 a.m. until 8 p.m., we think we will be well covered with Master Gardeners being present in two shifts:

AM Shift: 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

PM Shift: 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

We will work in teams of two.

This show looks like it will have lots of wonderful information; practical, "hands in the dirt" information about urban, small space, and roof gardening!

So, you could get some Volunteer hours -- and learn some good stuff!

The show will be downtown in the Grant Park Band Shell area -- directly south of Millennium park with easy assess to public transportation.
