Edgewater Environmental Coalition and 6018North present 'Dig In' a monthly gardening conversation series about native plants, soil, water, and cultural ties to locally grown plants. Together with Nance Klehm, Melissa H. Potter, and Carmen Vidal-Hallett, we explore various types of native planting, feminist gardening, rain gardens, and soil amendments. Programming will launch from Vedgewater community garden, and is free and open to the public.

This project is a part of Sustainability Awareness within Edgewater, generously supported by the Edgewater Chamber of Commerce – SSA#26. Gardening at Vedgewater is facilitated by the Peterson Garden Project in partnership with Loyola University of Chicago, Edgewater Chamber of Commerce and 48th Ward Office of Alderman Harry Osterman.

Edgewater Environmental Coalition brings a green voice to local challenges, empowering people to build and maintain a more sustainable future through action, organizing, education, and advocacy. We are rooted in advancing a healthy and verdant Edgewater.
