Garden Like Rick
Care to learn about organic gardening? Master gardener Bill Shores offers a wide range of urban gardening classes, including indoor salad green and veggie gardening (May 12), container gardening and worm composting (June 23), urban agriculture and edible landscape design (Sept. 8) and even over-winter gardening (Oct. 20). Here's the kicker: the classes take place in chef Rick Bayless' organic garden in Bucktown.
If you need a little inspiration, Shores also offers guided evening tours of the Bayless garden, including his outdoor kitchen, a multitude of stunning container plantings, a commercial organic vegetable garden, worm composting systems and more. One-hour tours run on Wednesday evenings, starting at 6:30pm. May 23, June 20, July 25, August 15 and September 19. Tickets are just $15, but space is limited to 20 participants.
