Lindsey Spaulding will lead a drop in tour of Milkweed Commons's native garden. Milkweed Commons is an urban development project on the 500 block of South Michigan which includes rehabilitation of two historic mixed-use buildings and transformation of the adjacent vacant lots into community green spaces. The larger of the two lots will be a Pocket Park and the smaller will be a Micro Farm. The project is led by Herstoric Development, with their non-profit arm Milkweed Gardens Inc. stewarding the outdoor spaces.
