Track the progress of our Organic garlic patch from when we planted in November to a June harvest + farmers market. In a language that I am ignorant to, Chicago means "wild onion" since it was so prevalent. Well the bulbs are back!

 Wood St. Collective (creatively) set up tents, seating, and a projector for Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals at our Community Watch Party. We passed out waters to neighborhood families since the summer heat has arrived. Go Boston! Folks loved the idea and set up so more watch parties to come!
Esteemed NBC5 reporter Vi Nguyen interviewed Wood St. Collective Executive Director Martell Collins in the West Englewood Peace Garden about our organization's summer youth programs. Aired on June 12th, 2024.
Wood St. Collective drummed up excitement for our upcoming summer volunteer opportunities among local youth in Hyde Park at the first ever UChicago Sustainability Farmer's Market.
 
 Thank you to the lovely neighbors, community organizers, nonprofit directors, and offices of elected officials who came to our Community Design Process for the proposed Urban Farm at 6234 S. Wolcott.
It was a productive visioning and discussion for the site, lead by Executive Director Martell Collins. Lots of exciting summer programs in the works. Hosted by the West Englewood Branch of Chicago Public Library.  Wood St. Collective collaborated with community organizer and founder of the recently established nonprofit Kenny and Family Out for Love and Peace. At Winterfest in West Englewood, hosted by Imagine Englewood If, organizers gave-away children's books and toys for the holiday season. Also distributed were Subway gift cards for adults heads of families. Thank you Ken (pictured)!
