Many thanks to staff at 30th Ward Alderwoman Ruth Cruz's office for having the grass mowed along Avondale near the Addison & Avondale Mural Garden. We asked, and it was done!

What a difference five volunteers and one hour can make! We don't have before and after photos, but we know you'll recognize the difference in the garden the next time you walk or drive. We pruned, w**ded, picked up trash, and cleaned up the graffitti.
Many thanks to first time volunteer and Avondale Neighborhood Association member Sean, returning volunteer and gardening affecionado Charles, and hard-working, energized Katy from 30th Ward Alderwoman Ruth Cruz's office...and of course, Amy and Victoria, mural garden organizers who haven't missed a work-day in 10 years!
Please help us increase interest in the Mural Garden by visiting, liking, following or adding a comment on this page.
Thank you for your support and interest....we hope to see you at our mid-summer work day in July or August, around the neighborhood....and/or on this page!

Hello Friends and Neighbors!
It's early summer and that means it is time for our third work-day of the growing season at the Addison & Avondale Mural Garden. Please join us Monday, July 17, at 4 pm (or Tuesday at 4 pm if the weather doesn't cooperate on Monday) for an hour+ to w**d, prune, and "spruce" up the garden and the corner of Addison & Avondale!
We'll provide the tools, cold water, and a new pair of garden gloves to all who come out and help. No gardening experience needed; school service hours available.
We would also like to point out, (in the event you didn't notice) that the Garden Committee recently facilitated the repair of the Raphael Lopez mural on the north side of Addison. The Addison & Avondale Mural Garden Committee, along with the Athletic Field Advisory Council (AFAC) and another organization provided the funding to repair the mural and we are very pleased with the results.
Please join us on Monday to continue our efforts to maintain and beautify the public spaces in our community.

Hey, neighbors, check this out: Rafael López, the artist who created our beautiful mural at Addison and Avondale, was commissioned by the USPS to create artwork for some new stamps!
Artist Rafael López used his upbringing in Mexico City for inspiration. It took two years of development before the set launched, and each stamp will carry on a cultural legacy forever.

OUR garden is looking lovely again thanks to the hard work last night of Al and Maddie Smith, Elvira and Eddie from Representative Andrade's office, and Amy Srubas and Victoria Duran.
Please help keep the garden and the corner of Addison & Avondale (and everywhere in our community) clean and welcoming. Pick up trash when you see it, or pull w**ds when you walk by. It takes a COMMUNITY!
