Community Garden Project
The Chicago Metro AEYC Community Garden Project presents an opportunity for two Cicero child care centers to partner with Chicago Metro AEYC to connect children and families with nature, fresh foods and one another.
The selected child care center will develop, plant, and maintain a community garden at their center and be willing to showcase their garden, periodically during the growing season.
Early childhood centers interested in applying will submit proposals and be chosen based on their ability to provide adequate land space and volunteers to create and maintain the gardens.
