Our Purpose

for the garden to become a permanent fixture here on the property of the Brookline Housing Authority. To have, years from now people and families we don't even know, planting, seeding, and yes, weeding. Teaching the kids and the community as well, that there are great things that neighbors can do together.

Summary of Projects

The Garden received a grant in 2011 to build trellising on a 20-foot wall in the garden in order to expand growing space and create an example of vertical gardening. A second construction plan is to build a fence/trellis along the border of our garden.
