Community gardens are living, breathing projects! Hermitage Street Gardens was established in 2011, and in the spring of 2015 the garden was reborn with new raised vegetable beds, walking paths and a large patio with a central pergola. Engineering students and instructor from Lindblom Math and Science Academy partnered with the garden to help transform the garden and an adjacent parking lot into a

meditation garden for veterans. The Gardens provide education, helping build the community with healthy living in urban agriculture giving old and young alike the chance to get their hands in the soil and enjoy nature in the community. Our Gardens are supported by Neighborspace the only nonprofit urban land trust in Chicago that preserves and sustains gardens on behalf of community dedicated garden groups. Through your generous donor assistance the Gardens were developed and are sustained.

🫛 GARDENING BENEFITS!🫜

Gardening isn’t just a physical activity—it’s a powerful tool for mental well-being. Engaging with plants can reduce stress and anxiety. Studies show that simply being surrounded by greenery can lower your heart rate and calm your mind. The act of nurturing plants also provides a sense of accomplishment, which boosts serotonin production, the hormone responsible for happiness.

Not only does gardening improve mental health, but it can also be a source of fresh, organic produce. Growing your own herbs, vegetables, or flowers can connect you to nature and the process of growth. It’s a fulfilling and therapeutic practice that benefits both body and mind.

Next time you're feeling stressed, try spending time in the garden—it may just be the solution you need. 🌱
