community gardens on the West Side

Chicago is home to many community gardens. You can download a map of West Community Gardens (which includes Austin, East Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Lower West Side, Near West Side, North Lawndale, South Lawndale, West Garfield Park, and West Town). Every year GreenNet offers Green Chicago Mini-Grants, which assist "urban gardeners working in publicly accessible green spaces with grants that fund gardening materials, supplies, and activities."

The Garfield Park Conservatory offers lots of classes throughout the year, including composting demos. GPC's next composting demo happens on Saturday, June 21 (1-3 p.m.).
