It’s always an outstanding day at the GCG when our incredible Bank of America Community Volunteers come to help — and Friday was no exception! 🙌. This hardworking crew accomplished SO much in just a few hours: topping off all the planting beds, securing the drip irrigation, hauling and smoothing out fresh wood chips, AND planting green beans! 💪🪴🫘

Thanks to their energy, teamwork, and dedication, the Garden is looking absolutely beautiful and we are feeling excited, organized, and ready for our amazing 2026 planting season. We truly couldn’t do it without the support of our fantastic volunteers from Bank of America. Their enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to tackle every task make such a meaningful difference to the Garden and the communities we serve. THANK YOU for helping the GCG continue to grow and thrive! 💚

It was so wonderful to have Phillip Sudderberg’s New Trier Advisery back volunteering at the Garden 🪴. It truly means so much to us when New Trier Adviseries (and other groups too) not only lend a hand in the Fall, but return again in the Spring to keep the momentum growing 💚 Your continued support, hard work, and positive energy make such a difference throughout the Garden.

There’s something really special about watching familiar faces come back season after season—helping the GCG bloom and thrive 👍. Now we’re crossing our fingers that we’ll get to see all of you again this summer too!! ☀️ Starting mid June just drop in Tuesday and Thursday mornigs 7:30 to 9:00 am and Saturdays 10:00 am to Noon to help harvest our veggies for those in need.

There’s nothing better than when a New Trier Advisery comes back to the GCG—it’s truly the best kind of awesome, gratifying, and productive all rolled into one! 💪 We were absolutely thrilled to welcome back Matt Ravenscraft’s Advisery on Tuesday morning. These incredible young men rolled up their sleeves and got to work—digging trenches, hauling soil, reimagining our Rethink • Recycle • Reuse Garden, and so much more!

We truly couldn’t do it without you… and you made it so much fun along the way! 😊 Hoping to see you all again this summer—and definitely in the fall! Thank you, thank you!!! 💚✨
