Fenway Garden Society received a Boston Grants Initiative grant in 2009 to replace the existing obsolete underground cast iron irrigation water system using a volunteer plumbing crew. A modern irrigation main system will allow the over 500 individual gardeners to learn basic plumbing skills, to maintain their own modular irrigation without interruption of service from the new mains, and will save hundreds of thousands of gallons of now wasted water while securing key capacity building infrastructure for community gardeners in the future.
