Check Out Growing Home
Growing Home, a nonprofit that provides job training for homeless and low-income Chicagoans in organic agriculture, will host an Employment Training Program Showcase on Saturday, September 25.
The showcase will be at the Wood Street Urban Farm, located at 5814 S. Wood, and will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission includes refreshments made from the farm's seasonal organic produce; access to the farm stand; tours of the farm; and workshops on brewing compost tea, keeping produce fresh, growing garlic, building an urban root cellar, and growing an indoor salad garden.
Suggested donation is $5, or a big wad of the used plastic grocery bags you've got stuffed under your sink; Growing Home can re-use them at the farm stand.
