So I am really excited to tell of the recent news:
There seems to be a more concrete fabrication of the garden which is extremely amazing!
After we met with Alderman Joe Moreno about two weeks ago and asked him for his letter of support, there was a bit of a wait in regards the letter's legality.
So today I finally received a call from his office asking what the garden will be called what community groups the garden would be under.
Sally then got a call from Michele Rhymes from the Zoning and Land Use Planning Dept of the City of Chicago regarding the same questions, the name and the groups of support.
And she also got this message from Julie Samuels at Openlands:
"Would your group be able to start the garden project this season...soon? We have access to some resources - possibly - I am working on a wish list of donations..."
The garden is MATERIALIZING BEFORE OUR EYES!
There are a few more steps of course, some of them can get a bit messy, but the garden is surely being born!
We are having another community garden committee meeting this Thursday!
Fuck you. You guys have been nothing but rude and voyeuristic to us and now you're taking away a space that's already in use. I am going to fight the alderman on this one. You changed the lock without giving us the key and now we have to direct route to take our garbage out. Looks like you're going to have to do it for us!
