I don't think there is any nursery involved. The Park Board has a big
enough need to trees & other plants that they grow their own, instead of
buying from a commercial nursery. The nursery is located in the west end
of Wirth Park, as I recall.
That was true many years ago but the current shift toward outsourcing
impacted our Park System as well and the internal nursery was abandoned long
ago--along with the good summer jobs for teens that went with it. The Park
Board now has to buy their trees.
Another reason to revive the traditions of Theodore Wirth and promote
self-sufficiency through the community instead of contracting out
responsibility.
