Ruby Garden is a community garden located within Chicago Park District's Schreiber Park. Individual plot holders must reside within our boundaries, shown below. Having close residents care for the space ensures that the garden maintains a community vibe.
Half of our plots are granted to non-profit organizations working within the community. These organizations use their plots to provide gardening opportunities and food for the people they serve. If you are interested in joining the garden as an organization, or getting involved with one of the organizations currently gardening, please contact us.
Boundaries are defined by Pratt on the north, Lakewood on the east, Granville on the south, and Ravenswood on the west.
