Our mission is threefold: ✿ We bring organic food production to you. We design gardens for those in need and to all communities: home, school, neighborhood, congregation and business. As we grow food, we green the earth, supplementing our well being multidimensionally. ✿ We care for the soul as well as the body. We teach mindfulness practice and meditation one-on-one sessions, in families and in groups in practices that can provide greater centering, decreased stress, increased happiness, more fulfilling relationships, and greater empathy and compassion. ✿ We offer the Mindful Gardens Project. We bring the above aspects of our mission together in the Mindful Gardens Project, melding mindfulness education and practice into the foundation of garden design and implementation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1612548063273-IB2OA3F8F7DZ1AF55TSJ/cabbage.jpg In the Gardens Vision and Mission - Vision Our vision at In the Gardens is: ✿ Each individual has the know-how, resources and compassionate guidance needed to cultivate and grow fresh, organic food for themselves, their loved ones and their community, regardless of economics. ✿ We use our embodied wisdom and knowledge of mindfulness practice to treat ourselves, the Earth and one another with kindness, thereby living in compassionate earth-centered communities. ✿ Our caring and our acts re-green the Earth, restoring habitat and ecosystems. https://inthegardens.org/take-action daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://inthegardens.org/garden-design daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1609173026289-SL4HXPTLZ5DL2ZY0VILG/image-asset.jpeg Edible Garden Design and Implementation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1610577647674-1BDUBCPMA9VDASXVWKRS/IMG_0165.JPG Edible Garden Design and Implementation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613073115463-GZ61VGDMYAXGWP9FY8WR/IMG_5680.JPG Edible Garden Design and Implementation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1616001877815-7ZEOI9GEMUIREREY47BL/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_1941.jpg Edible Garden Design and Implementation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1615998384918-0CDCBLTON8AMT9F3IF2D/IMG_0857.JPG Edible Garden Design and Implementation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1615998811831-RGIULNW0ULRTG3ABIOU3/87FB82E2-FF25-45CD-8B27-6877AEEEEFBD.jpg Edible Garden Design and Implementation https://inthegardens.org/gallery-5 daily 0.75 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1611768838851-WSEMQECWIO3SHHD318J2/IMG_5608.JPG Nothing is as Sure as Change An In the Gardens volunteer packing up equipment for donation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1611768858182-C719IZIZU17IMH8JPMO9/garden.jpg Nothing is as Sure as Change In the Gardens berry plants begin a Chicagoland garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1611768865846-O28W8QRUEGWR6AGGGVNS/peach.jpg Nothing is as Sure as Change Preparing In the Gardens volunteer peach trees for new homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1611768878801-N643TZ4I8YAP5AP31Z0S/packing.jpg Nothing is as Sure as Change In the Gardens equipment for donation to other community gardens that beautify our neighborhoods and provide fresh food to diminish hunger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1611778476274-D5QHCLBSXT0KWE00W9V7/IMG_5573.jpg Nothing is as Sure as Change https://inthegardens.org/who-we-are/who-we-are daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613597973987-54EA1JKHB3YZW7FL31V0/IMG_6129%2B%25283%2529.jpg Who We Are Rabbi Robin Damsky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613597926515-0JDE8D0WTRWKLM2F47WY/IMG_0711%2B%25281%2529.jpg Who We Are Judith Grobe Sachs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613597839518-ZHL6ULIZ584AJE7Y9W6J/DEA1A001-D533-4E1C-B216-644BBDE53D8C.jpg Who We Are Dr. Sobyl Bunis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613597875722-X6056SQAL5PSKKCJS1VX/IMG_4428.jpg Who We Are Dr. Cynthia Klein-Banai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613597902652-9ZME17MJPFGI4V35Y2QJ/IMAG1727.jpg Who We Are Qiana Carswell https://inthegardens.org/donate daily 0.75 2021-07-07 https://inthegardens.org/mindfulness daily 0.75 2021-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1619629365143-C025NVX4MPH09LUCWXIJ/IMG_6580-2.jpg Mindfulness Practice - Nine-Week Meditation Course Our favorite primer for regular meditation and mindfulness practice will fill your toolbox with a wide variety of practices for everyday use.

With areas of limited fresh food access and poverty on the rise, all the more so with COVID-19 stretching our budgets, there is deep value in teaching people to grow gardens and community simultaneously. We do this through the inclusion of mindfulness practice into our garden projects. Gardens provide a source of food, and mindfulness empowers self-reliance as it builds kind and compassionate connection with self and others. https://inthegardens.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1612985525305-I4A9XGCZYLICXMO5FE9X/IMG_2590-1024x768.jpg Contact Us - Contact Us In the Gardens PO Box 603, Maywood, IL 60153 rabbidamsky@inthegardens.org ✉️ 708-629-5556 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1613594804206-XUOK7V7FL7R2RSGK0MT4/hithere.jpg Contact Us - Connect with Us Twitter Instagram Facebook YouTube Or click the links in the top menu! https://inthegardens.org/social/instagram daily 0.75 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1619625129978-2ML55BR5NTPXP3IIT4SY/instagram+small.png In the Gardens on Instagram https://inthegardens.org/social/twitter daily 0.75 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1619624601090-L7KL4LA3TI7Z5HLW14YN/twitter-icon-small.png In the Gardens on Twitter - In the Gardens on Twitter Visit In the Gardens on Twitter to see more and to follow us! https://inthegardens.org/social/calendar daily 0.75 2021-03-10 https://inthegardens.org/social/youtube daily 0.75 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1619640744122-A72V1JA98RBOI7U913R2/youtube+small.png In the Gardens on YouTube https://inthegardens.org/compostnow-partnership daily 0.75 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd1140ee693c501d0f8231d/1616002563414-UNRW9JVEKXNKLG3HPD7Q/compostnow-homepage.jpg CompostNow Partnership - Donate your CompostNOW Compost to In the Gardens!
