    I was walking down Chicago Avenue when I was stopped by an enthusiastic young boy pointing me in…read morethe direction of the market. I have walked by this garden many times and was always curious about it. I told the boy that I would be back later in the afternoon. I am glad I did. I just bought a large bag of beautiful looking Spinach for $2-- the young farmers here host a farmers market on Saturdays. I'm not sure what time it starts but it ends at 3. The garden is a part of an organization called Growing Power. Yelp them to find out more. From the website-- The garden is located in the quickly changing neighborhood adjacent to the Cabrini-Green row houses. The garden is a traditional community garden with free plots allocated to individual gardeners. Since its inception, Growing Power has supplied the materials, assisted in designing and building the space, served on the garden's planning committee, provided daily staff and technical assistance during the growing season, and developed and implemented a youth curriculum for neighborhood kids and new gardeners. The gardens 36 biological worm system raised beds were built on top of concrete and have been abundantly producing fresh vegetables and fruits. This garden is designed to create dialogue, community engagement and empowerment as well as introduce a source for fresh, safe, healthy, homegrown produce to the community. The site is also the gathering space for many of the children living in the neighborhood. Garden staff provide a multi-disciplinary curriculum for the two-hundred plus children who visit the garden during the season. Children have the opportunity to learn math through counting and adding tomatoes harvested from the Pizza Garden and to read poems under the pumpkin teepee.

In my honest-to-God opinion, I don't think there's anywhere on the planet, could compare to or is equivalent to what is done, accomplished and shared at this garden.

    I wanted to wait to write this review until I had more information about it, but, alas, that hasn't…read morehappened. Nevertheless, I want to share the goodness that Sweetwater shares with the community, so here goes! As you can see from the pictures, there is an abundance of verdant goodness being grown here, and a portion of it is free to the community and general public for the picking. Apparently, there is also a farmer's market of sorts with very reasonable prices on Saturdays around noon-ish. I first learned of the Sweetwater Foundation during my undergrad years when the director was one of my Community Development professors. SWF is all about regenerative social justice, and does awesome work teaching aquaponics, urban agriculture, and the like to inner-city students. Anyhoo, I was looking for organic greens for a client, and a friend directed me here. Upon arriving, I saw the plethora of veggies growing, but couldn't locate a soul! I called my friend back, because I knew I had to be in the right place. I didn't, however, know how/who to pay, or just how to go about procuring my goodies. I was told to merely pick what I needed and keep it moving. How amazing is that?! UPDATE ALERT***UPDATE ALERT****UPDATE ALERT***UPDATE This farm is, actually, a part of the Perry Avenue Commons complex.

    I second what the previous reviewer said about the water being in an uncovered filthy trough. See…read morephoto. After bringing up the matter to the garden managers, there were no changes, only an offer to scrub the sides of the trough. We tried to bring our own water to garden, but ultimately that was a ridiculous endeavor, since we paid to have access to fresh water to water our garden. Never grew a thing because who wants to bring their own water to a community garden, after paying a fee to garden? Like the other reviewer said, we paid for a box of dirt. The woman who started this project left Chicago long ago and I don't know who is at the helm at the moment.

With the hope of doing something positive on this historic piece of empty city land and "teaching 20 people how to grow their own food" our project was born." Source: https://www.petersongarden.org/ FYI- The Victory Gardens were established to help sustain the fruit and vegetable supply by encouraging and creating local gardens during the World War II effort to provide individuals and families across the United States with access to food. Victory Gardens in Chicago: "During World War II, Chicago led the nation in urban food production with its Victory Gardens program of 1,500 community gardens and more than 250,000 home gardens. The city's North Park neighborhood was also home to the largest Victory Garden in the United States."
