Somos Los Urbs In Horto
Community Work
Interested in hosting me in your community or neighborhood? Somos Los Urbs In Horto (@wearethecityinagarden) provides a plethora of services from simple tabling to nature-based workshops! I speak on a variety of urban-nature related topics from how to connect with nature-based community organizations/businesses/artists/etc. to support in your neighborhood and how individuals can become their own entrepreneurs through accessible natural material found in their backyard!
​
View the variety of complimentary services, workshops (free and at-cost), and what tabling resources I will bring to your community space down below!
Tabling resources can look different from various communities across Chicago - we are always open to customizations to cater to your audience and/or event-theme!

Our tabling is split into three sections:
1. Who We Are

2. Community Connections Map
Connect people to nature-based organizations/businesses/artist/etc. in the neighborhood and understand the natural resources available to their neighborhood.
