The Demonstration Gardens at Hoffman Park are six gardens maintained by local volunteers . All of the harvest is donated to the Cary Grove Food Pantry . These gardens are also used in Park District programming . Students in the Preschool , campers in ECHO Extreme , and friends from the NISRA Adult Day Program learn and assist with planting , weeding , and harvesting of crops . Over 1,000 pounds of organic produce was harvested from these gardens in 2016 and donated to the Cary Grove Food Pantry .
