From The Rogers Park Garden Group – Rogers Park, Chicago comes this proposal that will warm any gardener’s heart during a chilly January.
A proposal to “Adopt the Public Way”
The Rogers Park Garden Group (RPGG) is delighted to make available a limited number of public gardening grants up to $1,000 for the improvement of spaces in our neighborhood’s public way. From Juneway Terrace on the north, south to Devon Avenue and from the lake west to Ridge Avenue, spaces in the public way such as parkways, parks, playlots, sidewalk gardens and building frontage potentially qualify.
In addition to funding, the RPGG can also make available garden advice and resources. For more information and a grant application, visit http://www.rogersparkgardengroup.org. The deadline for applications is Feb. 15. The applications can be downloaded from The Rogers Park Garden Group.
