On Saturday, August 24th, we launched our newest event series. Led by Lucía León, an urban farmer and land steward in her tenth season of growing, each session delves into different dimensions of garden care. 


Just in time for fall, our first workshop offered a 101 on seasonal planning, covering how to identify your growing zone and choose the best-suited crops. Through a hands-on demonstration, attendees walked away with a deeper understanding of seed starting, plant spacing, and companion planting.

Our next garden workshop, all about maintaining healthy soil, will take place on September 7th from 10:30 am to 12 pm. RSVP here to join us.







The Overton Exchange POP is brought to you by the City of Chicago’s Public Outdoor Plaza (POP!) program designed to create strategic community gathering spaces that serve as destination points for residents and neighborhood visitors.
