I don’t know if Illinois has something like this, but in San Antonio, there is some group that helps people, especially seniors, to set up small space vegetable gardens on their patio. It was amazing to see how many things they planted on a little patio corner. I don’t recall the name of the group as I saw it on the local news several years ago.
No, there’s nothing like what you describe in my area. This could be very helpful if you’re able to do it.
