LaManda Joy, who blogs at theyarden.com, has asked me to mention a multimedia performance with music she has put together about Chicago victory gardens in World War II. She and friends will be putting it on Sunday, March 28, at 2 p.m. at the Chicago Dank-Haus, 4740 N. Western Ave. Tickets are $7 and for sale at www.theyarden.com. Proceeds will be donated to Hyperlocavore, a yard-sharing community. I, unfortunately, will be out of town that day, but I look forward to reports.
Some other events that have wafted into my consciousness:
There's a tool-sharpening workshop Saturday by members of the Wicker Park Garden Club, to be held in a private home. For $15, learn to sharpen all your tools--hoes, pruners, the works. There are two session, 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m., but space is limited for both. So RSVP to WPGarden@aol.com.
Grand Street Gardens is having two seed-starting workshops, one for kids ($10) and one for aduklts ($15), on March 27. See here for info.
My friend Julie Siegel will speak on "Being Present in Your Garden" at the Chicago Botanic Garden on March 23. It's $37, or $29 if you're a member. see chicagobotanic.org to register.
