Front Forty is excited to participate in General Economy, Exquisite Exchange (GEEE) from Cream Co. (Chicago) as part of Adhocity at the new alternative art space, the Op Shop in Hyde Park. GEEE is a seasonal garden store grounded in the non-commercial, slow-profit exchange systems of neighbors.
For the month of April, GEEE has all sorts of green things for sale or trade, including: FFP's Green Dynamite (tubes of plant seeds native to the Chicago region) as well as vegetable seeds (tomatoes, basil and lettuce), seedlings, April plants, houseplants, a mound of compost, gardening books, handcrafted tomato trellises and lettuce tables, vases and the like.
Cream Co. says feel free to bring any seeds or seedlings you’d like to share, or a favorite recipe, or a houseplant or garden pot, you'd like to trade, donate or sell. Details below:
Come One, Come All, and Come Again!

The Op Shop and Connect-the-Lots are focusing on Urban AgriCULTURE for the months of March and April: 1001 E. 53rd street, Hyde Park.
We have seed exchanges, seedlings growing for Connect-the-Lots and The Public Learning Garden 1, and neighborly exchanges happening daily on an organic basis.
For the months of March and April, the Op Shop has created a temporary art installation for the purpose of experimenting with an alternative economy based on neighborly trade, skill shares and exchange.
Please contact us for more information and to come by and visit!
