Get involved in Drummond’s Organic Garden!

Filed under: General and Misc,Greenspace — nicole at 1:33 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2008

With any luck, Drummond School will start growing a new garden of vegetables and native plants this summer. Each classroom will have a plot and raised beds, to grow something spectacular.  We will also need a committed group of parents and community members to help out with the garden planning and upkeep. If you are interested in helping get our garden off the ground, please come to an organizational meeting this Wednesday at 2:45pm in Room 001.  In the meantime, check out the greenspace plan at http://drummondschool.org/06.2_grdnplan.html.  The individual classroom gardens are the small green squares on the east and west side of the school building.  Hope to see you there!

Great news about the Green Space Project!

Filed under: General and Misc,Greenspace,LSC — Carly at 10:29 pm on Tuesday, May 16, 2006

Alderman Matlak shared some wonderful news at the LSC meeting on May 9th.  $500,000 has been pledged from the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District for the Drummond Green Space project. 

In summer 2006, an architect will begin transforming the concept plans designed by Greg Raymond into construction plans.  The plans will be implemented beginning in 2007, transforming many feet of asphalt into green space for our kids.

Thank you so much to Alderman Matlak and Mayor Daley for making this happen, and for all the support you give Drummond!
