Yoga in Ginkgo Organic Garden Uptown

Ginkgo Organic Gardens, founded in 1994, is a community pantry garden in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood and one of the oldest continually operating community gardens in the city.  We are 100% volunteer-run and employs sustainable agricultural practices to grow food for people who struggle with poverty and illness by working in partnership with Neighborspace and Vital Bridges Food Pantry. Through volunteer work days, we provide opportunities for individuals and groups to contribute to our mission of being stewards of the land while serving others with high-quality food - we grow and give on average a half-ton of fresh produce a year.

After your yoga class, a steering committee member will be giving a tour of the garden.  Yogis are welcome to stay and volunteer after the class and tour.  Our workday tasks include general garden maintenance such as weeding, turning compost, planting, etc. If you would like to stay and volunteer we strongly recommend wearing close-toed shoes. We have gloves and tools available and masks are required in the garden.
