Beginning…. to …. well, almost the end………
We still need to add a tree, and divert the downspout to the rain garden, & also add a rain barrel.

Please check out this video of the Let’s Go Chicago team laying some drainpipe at one of our projects. We had a big rain last week and were absolutely thrilled to receive an email from our client indicating there was no more seepage through her basement wall!

Water week in Chicago
Greetings from Chicago, fellow Solutionaries! The following is cross-posted from LetsGoChicago.org. After Middleton's post below, it seems there is a water conscious trend happening here in the Midwest. We are glad to be a part of it! Read on to learn about our take on water awareness and water conservation.
The week of July 9, which focused on water issues, was so busy we didn't have time for a mid-week blog post, but we have plenty of water-themed stories to tell.
This is a cross-post Check out Let's Go Chicago, including the work with Alexia.

Let’s Go Chicago Pitches in at CNT’s Garden!
In preparation for the Bucktown Garden walk this weekend, Let’s Go Chicago planted native sedges in the parkway outside Center for Neighborhood Technology’s building at 1741 Western Avenue. The building houses CNT Energy, so the group also learned about Energy’s programs and toured the building. The group’s assistance doing final planting in the garden was key in getting he garden in shape for tomorrow. Pizzo Native Plants donated more plants and Grace Koehler taught the grup about native plants. Thanks everyone!
