Please join the Ravenswood Neighbors Association for our 3rd Annual Garden Crawl and Happy Hour on Saturday, July 27th. All programs are free!New tours and workshops start every hour between 9am-3pm and will begin in the RNA event tent at Ravenswood & Sunnyside (west side of Metra tracks). Our guides are offering free tours of Ravenswood native gardens, neighborhood tree canopies (with a certified arborist), and the Sunnyside Savanna, with additional free workshops on beekeeping, container gardening, and birding in Chicago. Our event tent will also have local honey for sale, a kids’ craft, free wildflower seeds (while supplies last), and our gardening-themed fundraising raffle. This event also features a self-guided tour of privately owned gardens in the neighborhood – tour map links will be posted on our website and in our event tent – stay tuned for details.
Do you have a garden that you’d like to include on our tour map? No garden is too big or too small - we welcome corner gardens, parkway gardens, front and back yard gardens, porch gardens, container gardens - if it's growing, it's welcome to join the tour. Perfect gardens are not required! Register your garden here: https://forms.gle/BjrHGmemYXrFZ4CfA
After a day of inspiration and learning, unwind at our Happy Hour from 3pm-5pm at Platform 47 (4709 N. Damen Avenue). Enjoy old-time bluegrass music from Rachel Kazez & Friends, network with fellow gardening and environmental enthusiasts, and enjoy a beverage on us.
