Repair Fairs

Repair Fairs are free community events where folks can bring their broken and beloved bikes, clothes, appliances, jewelry, and more and work with repair volunteers to fix them.

Our Repair Fairs are in partnership with Chicago Public Library. We are hosting one at a different public library branch every month of 2022.

Seed Share

Thanks to donations from several seed companies and local groups like the UIC Heritage Garden we are able to host a popular seed share program. Each growing season we distribute free packets of fruit, vegetable, herb, and flower seeds to hundreds of community members.

Available seeds can be viewed in our tool inventory here. Stop by the library to browse or pick up seeds!

TOOL SWAPS

Chicagoans struggle to find ways to recycle usable nails, screws, hardware, and tools. In February of 2021, we piloted a swap event with Plant Chicago where community members could bring unneeded materials or pick them up for free.
