Thanks to the Parks Department, our garden received a huge pile of wood chips. A small but determined group of gardeners put them in place. Now, we have beautiful new paths throughout the garden!
Thank you to Joey, Catherine, Penelope and Gail.

Great progress was made on the shed organizing project this weekend! Claire L and her intrepid group emptied and inventoried the shed, discarded some items and organized the rest. What a difference. Stay tuned for the next phase of the shed project — shelving, labels and more.

Led by our Master Gardeners, a group of around 15 garden members walked through the garden to collectively put fresh eyes on what needs doing this garden season. We identified some small projects and some big ones (like organizing the new shed and clearing the main garden paths). It was a very uplifting way to start the season.
We’re close to ushering in our 27th season of community gardening at Prospect Heights Community Farm! We meet monthly at the garden from April to November (with one virtual meeting to escape the heat in August).
Please note the dates below.

We’re excited to announce this year’s leaf drop collection event. During this annual event, we hope to collect over 100 bags of leaves, which will be shredded to produce the critically important “browns” that are added to our composting process.
Divert your leaves from the landfill and into compost by dropping off your leaves at the garden from 12-2 on the following Sundays: 12-2pm on the following Sundays: November 3, 10, 17, 24 and December 1.
Please bag your leaves in clear plastic or brown paper bags. Please no twigs, branches or trash.
