Jeanne Nolan, Chicago Tonight Go Organic


Chicago Tonight staff includes gardeners of all skill levels from beginners to advanced gardeners. Our interest in gardening is reflected in the many garden-themed segments on Chicago Tonight throughout the year.

Outside of the show, gardening comes up often in casual conversations, with co-workers trading tips and sharing stories about what they are growing at home. Frequent conversations about gardening grew into the creation of an organic vegetable garden. When we decided to create our own vegetable garden, we knew we’d need an expert to guide us. We brought in Jeanne Nolan, founder of The Organic Gardener, to help us.

The garden has been a community project from the beginning, with everyone helping select the crops for the garden and many joining to lend a hand on planting day. With this project, we hope to lead by example and show that it is possible to create an affordable, productive organic vegetable garden in Chicago. Throughout the gardening season, we will continue to work together to tend to the garden and share our stories on Homegrown, where you can learn gardening tips and ask questions of Nolan as well. We invite you to join in and grow with us.
