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

First Volunteer Drop-in of the Spring: This Thursday May 1st, 3:00-5:00!

Spring has sprung, and there's LOTS of fun activity waiting for you and your family at the K-A Garden Drop-in this Thursday, including:
  • Planting herbs (in connection with our farmer visit and cafeteria tastings in April)
  • Exploring the garden on a "Scratch 'n' Sniff" Scavenger Hunt
  • Making pasta salad---Pick-your-own herbs from the perennial garden and then create your own recipes
  • Clearing soil of weeds and overgrown plants to make room for our new Concord Grape plantings
Just a reminder that children under 10 need to be supervised by an adult...

Thanks --- & looking forward to seeing all our volunteers once again out in the garden!
