Support the CCGA!

Our city is home to hundreds of community gardens, and the Chicago Community Gardeners Association has created a network of those gardeners that is truly gardener-designed and gardener-led. CCGA is composed of volunteer working groups that meet regularly to support community gardens as a vehicle for building sustainable communities and enriching the natural ecosystem in Chicago and beyond. Through these working teams we provide information, education and material resources, host workshops and distributions, and sponsor an annual gardeners conference every spring.

We are committed to creating a space where each voice and perspective is appreciated and heard. We support and encourage the participation of every individual. While Chicago’s neighborhood gardens are our immediate focus, we have the potential to engage with other areas through our teams of Communication, Education, Resources & Distributions, and Advocacy & Outreach because many issues affect our larger shared environment. 

Interested in making a difference?  Then join, connect, and grow with us! Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this organization that helps to ensure the sustainability and vibrancy of community gardens for years to come.

Gardeners come together from all over the city to participate in CCGA activities. CCGA needs your energy and ideas! Beyond giving, you can best get involved by joining one of the CCGA working groups.  For more information about Chicago's community gardens and gardening, to sign up to receive our newsletter and emails, and to find events, please visit http://chicagocommunitygardens.org/
