Global Garden, located in Chicago's Albany Park, gives refugees a community where they can find economic opportunity and food security.
Chicago's Global Garden has created a community full of hope for refugees from all over the world!
"One-hundred refugee families have taken this vacant lot and turned it into a productive, green oasis," said Global Garden Executive Director Linda Seyler. Founded in 2012, Global Garden has welcomed hundreds of refugees from a variety of different countries with open arms. The garden allows these families to not only carry on their agricultural traditions, but also provides them with food security and an economic opportunity.
She explained how many of these farmers can be mistaken for unskilled workers and states, when "in fact, they have generations worth of farming expertise."
