Welcome!

The garden was once a cement courtyard in a Cambridge public school building, shared by the Martin Luther King Jr. and Amigos schools. In August of 2006, construction began. The cement was lifted out with cranes, and volunteers from both schools wheelbarrowed truckloads of loam into the transforming space.

Today the garden is a vibrant outdoor classroom that directly supports teachers' curriculum. During volunteer drop-ins, students and their families share in garden maintenance, overseeing the entire growing cycle from seed to compost.

Thank you for your interest!

T.W.I.G. This Week in the Garden

Read-a-Book, Plant-a-Flower

Sarah Novogrodsky, our school librarian, has a challenge for all K-A students: let's see how many books we can read this spring.

Look for Sarah's bulletin board in the main lobby to check in with our progress. In less than a few weeks time, we have already finished over 30 books!

As an added bonus, and thanks to the generous donation from Wagon Wheel Farm in Lexington, students are planting pansies around the garden to represent our reading accomplishments.

Can we finish 100 books by summer vacation? Let's keep reading!
