2026 Inside & Outside The Garden
Lincoln Wildlife Group Visits the RBVG
This year the Garden was once again chosen by the Lincoln Park Wildlife Group as an insect and pollinator research site. This marks the third year the group has visited the RBVG to examine and record the many insects that call our garden home.
The Garden hosts several research groups each season, the Lincoln Park Group is certainly our favorite! We thank them for their continued partnership and for thinking of us.
The RBVG on Exhibit
The RBVG is proud to participate in the America Grows exhibit to be held at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. June 5 - September 27th. CBG interviewed our garden President this past winter to learn about the long history of our garden and toured the RBVG in early November.
We encourage members to carpool to the exhibit and see what the CBG and its visitors have to say about the oldest community garden in the city of Chicago.
Homegrown National Park
Member Michael Kuby recently introduced us to author Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park. This non-profit organization promotes biodiversity and habitat restoration, goals that are close to the RBVG's mission.
After researching their work, we have decided to become a member. The Garden is now officially part of the organization's Biodiversity Map, where the Dragon Fly points directly to us.
For those interested in learning more, Doug recently gave a presentation on plants and their essential roles in the natural food web of Birds. You can view his talk here: https://youtu.be/sAbhRM1Vagk (https://youtu.be/sAbhRM1Vagk)
Our thanks to Michael for bringing Doug and his organization to our attention.
