Have you ever wanted to get involved with gardening at UIC?

Help us prepare for the summer!

Activities will vary, but may include preparing seeds to give away and potting up plants and moving them to different sites. Be prepared to get your hands dirty, make new friends, learn new skills, and have fun!

Limited spots available! Take a free plant when you volunteer! Masks are encouraged.
