The event serves as a resource and services expo for residents, groups, and block clubs. It will allow them all to become familiar with what exactly different city and state departments offer, as well as educate them on how to improve the quality of life in their homes and their neighborhoods (i.e. beautifying the blocks by planting trees and flowers; creating a garden; recycling, etc.).

January is a great time to plan inspirational projects for the year – there’s no better way to turn over a new leaf than to explore the age old question of chickens, eggs, and Chicago. Curious about Chicago’s chicken codes? Wondering what kinds of chickens are the best to keep in a coop? Want to know how chickens keep warm in the winter? These questions and more will be answered at this “chicken chat,” presented by chicken keeper Jim Lichon. Please register by emailing Robin Cline at rcline@garfieldpark.org.
