Covid-19 Response UPDATED 8/10/21: To Our Community and Beloved Customers, In consideration of our employees and their families, many of whom have young unvaccinated children and grandchildren, we are reinstating our store mask requirement regardless of vaccination status. The Chicago Department of Public Health now recommends that everyone 2+ wear masks in public indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status. Although the risk of COVID-19 transmission is lower outdoors, we ask everyone to wear their mask while shopping in any area of Gethsemane Garden Center. Thank you for wearing a mask while shopping indoors and outdoors at our store. Sincerely, Gethsemane Garden Center UPDATED 6/8/21: To Our Community and Beloved Customers, Regas Chefas, owner, and the Gethsemane team would like to announce that facial coverings will be optional for vaccinated individuals beginning June 8th, 2021.
