Chicago is one of the hardest cities to be successful in. From demographics, weather, politics, to a very challenging bureaucracy. We have had incredible success there. Our goal was 6 Learning Gardens in CPS schools. We might hit 19 before the end of the year, reaching 10,000 kids. As we understand it, the Mayor is amazed that we have been able to succeed in the face of everything, including the CPS strikes. Internally we are being called 'the shining light in dark times'!

He wants to "get his hands dirty" and plant something with the kids. I think CPS film crew will capture some B-roll, and they have invited local TV crews, as well. I believe the Alderman will also be there. Steve and I just had a great call with Mayor's office, and the Principal of the school. Travis - I lobbied to have Beth Swanson attend as well, in an effort to get our 2013 plan in the spotlight. Here we go!

He loved nature deeply and always retained a sense of wonder at the world of living things. His system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms is still in wide use today."
