  • Where: Casa Cactus (4595 N Elston Ave)
  • We can’t believe it’s been almost a year since our workshop on planting prairies last fall! We are hosting a free Q&A to discuss the happenings at the Plant Shop parkway prairie, and answer any questions about its history and progress. Feel free to come by, say hi, and check out what’s growing!

Parkway Prairie Workshop

  • When: 9am-12:30pm, Saturday, October 19, 2024
  • Where: Casa Cactus (4595 N Elston Ave)
  • Learn what prairies are, why they are important, and how you can plant your own to help bring back biodiversity, trap more carbon, spread beauty, and heal the land. Includes hands-on instruction — as a community we will be transforming the Plant Shop Chicago parkway into a native Illinois prairie!
