Let’s Create a Greener Chicago!

We are proud to announce our commitment and partnership with Chicago Plant Rescue.

Our commitment to give back to Chicago and create a greener and healthier city goes hand-in-hand with the work the CPR does.

Chicago Plant Rescue is a local Chicago organization that works to transplant healthy perennial plants from temporary beds and planters to permanent homes in community gardens all over Chicago. Their work has contributed to decreasing waste and creating greener spaces throughout the city.

“Chicago Plant Rescue is trying to liven up communities by transferring plants (that would have been trashed) to community gardens. We believe community gardens and coffee shops are both important culturally stimulating places that people go for solace outside the home or workplace, otherwise known as a ‘third place’. Our team and many others spend a significant amount of time at third places for socializing, volunteering, gardening, harvesting, hanging out, working, studying, or enjoying a drink and a snack.

Plants are incredible and have potential to change public spaces. We hope that our love of plants is contagious. Many communities are not able to spend a ton of money on plants for revitalizing their community gardens, public space, streetscapes, etc. On the other end of things, many landscapers and restaurants don’t have the capacity to handle plants after their primary use is over. That’s where we fit in; we feel we’re one of the missing links.”

– Jesse King, founding member of Chicago Plant Rescue

The amazing work this organization continues to do for Chicago inspires us to do more for our communities and are proud to contribute to their mission.
