Gardeneers and Marquise to the rescue!
Wow, digging up all that soil by had for the hugelkultur is a lot of work. Luckily, our friends down the road - literally - at the Gardeneers loaned us their tractor and their Americorps volunteer, Marquise Fox, to make small work of placing the rest of our hugelkultur sites.
Gardeneers is an awesome organization and they are located here in North Lawndale. Their founder, May Tsupros, used to work for CCA/CSW when she was an Americorps volunteer straight out of college. Now, our recent CCA graduate is an Americorps volunteer working for the Gardeneers. Marquise was hired by the Gardeneers after completing a paid internship arranged by CCA through a program funded through the Alternative Schools Network. Now that, is full circle!
