Backyard Botany

September 3, 2012 in slide by agarcia

The Benton House garden is a resource for the Bridgeport community. We are continuing the mission of providing for the food pantry as well as offering educational opportunities. Some projects to look forward to are:

  • indoor mycology
  • winterizing the garden
  • reconstructing the polyethylene structures to allow for late fall/early spring growing
  • updating the vermiculture composting system
  • starting new systems of compost
  • collecting seeds
  • Renewing the soil
  • Supporting and reaching out to other Chicago urban agriculture projects
