Plant Chicago hosted our very first community event this past month. The BBQ was well-attended with roughly 150 people from our neighborhood and local organizations. We had 3 tours of The Plant in Spanish and bilingual yoga with plenty of food donated by Pleasant House Bakery, Arize Kombucha, Nick Greens and our amazing Plant Chicago volunteers.
