Leah Ray is a
founding volunteer with The Peterson Garden Project, Chicago�s largest
community vegetable garden. Located on the city's far north side at the
intersection of Peterson Avenue and Campbell Avenue, the garden's site was part
of an original WWII Victory Garden from 1942-1945, and was re-launched by
community volunteers on May 21, 2010. The Peterson Garden Project's goal is to
recruit, educate and inspire a new generation of gardeners who want to gain
control of their food supply, grow their own produce organically, and make
urban vegetable gardening the norm�not the exception. In addition to her
volunteer work at the garden, Leah is a communications manager for a global
architecture and design firm. A graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design,
Leah presently teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has
taught architecture and design theory as an adjunct faculty member at The
University of Illinois at Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology. To
