Getting our hands in the dirt relieves stress, minimizes depression, lowers our blood pressure, and makes us happier! This is why we’re so excited to team up with Elizabeth Berkeley at Chicago Grows Food, a collaborative project devoted to expanding and unifying the food-growing community in Chicagoland, who will teach us how to grow herbs! She’ll provide grow kits including a variety of herbs and teach us how to grow them inside or outside our homes!
We’ll also be listening to moving poetry about the healing process with the lovely Tanae B, a spoken word artist, singer, and community organizer. The purpose of this event is to help you create a more sustainable and healthy relationship with food. Everyone in attendance will walk away feeling more informed and empowered when it comes to gardening and wellness.
Herby Pop, a Black-owned and woman-owned business will be our sponsor providing delicious flavored popcorn! Melina Morales will capture us beautifully! You don’t want to miss this event! Come alone or bring a friend. RSVP here.
Tix will cover grow kits (you’ll get to bring them home), snacks, drinks, venue, and photography.
