Neighborhood gardens

The Neighborhood Gardens program brings beauty and cohesiveness to neighborhoods from Pullman to Edison Park.

To create these community gardens, the Chicago Botanic Garden works with diverse community organizations, including neighborhood development associations, AIDS agencies, domestic violence shelters and churches.

Since 1980, the Garden has been involved in more than 200 community gardens, and 22 more were developed or enhanced in 2001.

With the support of Senator Richard Durbin, Neighborhood Gardens is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. See a map of community gardens (view with Acrobat Reader).
