Growing Home provides job training for homeless and low-income individuals in Chicago through a social enterprise business based on organic agriculture.

Growing Home is committed to helping individuals transform their lives.
Since its inception, Growing Home has worked towards this by providing a transitional job program that lets previously-incarcerated and previously-homeless individuals prepare to re-enter the workforce not only by teaching job skills, but also by providing the chance to engage in what is for many a transformational experience. Our program is different from other workforce development programs because of our intense focus on the transformational possibilities inherent in learning to nurture and grow one’s own food.
if you believe this is a worthy cause, please consider donating $5 to help raise money for the 2009 season's seeds

This is so cool. Good job on the widget, girl! Can't wait to do some serious knitting tomorrow.
Haven't watched the you tube yet...but I will.
How neat! My clever little sis! I love the idea- your nephew got a leftover cabbage plant from the third grade cabbage project so we'll be planting that this week- he's very excited, but totally forgetting he doesn't really like cabbage...oh well!
