Roger's Park Garden Goals...
I'm a former resident of Rogers Park. I lived there for nine years. When I was younger it felt like home and such a healthy environment. Roaming aroung the neighborhood I would catch myself spotting a nice piece of greenary. All my neighbors had healthy plants in their gardens, and every morning I would catch the land-lord spraying the flowers in front of our building. It made the area have a sense of life and innocence. Yet, they're many backyard gardens than rooftops. The only rooftop garden that I know of in that area is the garden on the rooftop of the Rogers Park Church. Another place I would love to see a rooftop garden, is at the Fresh Morse Market. I feel that a rooftop should be here also because I always viewed this grocery store as an image that represents the Rogers Park area. Many people view the backyard gardening as "...a way to connect with nature in the city." Let's GO Chicago and former Rogers Park residents have really created ways to really support urban gardening in the community. Having kids and young teens participate as well. Getting closer to their goal of making organically grown food to be America's mainstay.

Great post, Quella! I think it's really cool to have young people get involved with growing their own food. I also think it's really important to know where your food comes from, and being involved with it from the get go, makes a person a lot closer to their food. :) Thanks again for posting.
