Chicago Community Gardeners Association
Our city is home to hundreds of community gardens and CCGA continues to build a vibrant network of gardeners to ensure the sustainability and growth of Chicagoland gardens for years to come. The Chicago Community Gardeners Association (CCGA) is truly gardener-led and designed, composed of all-volunteer working groups that meet regularly to support these gardens through education, plant distributions, and networking events that provide community, relevant information, useful resources, and beautiful plants.
