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!

Successful garden clean-up

We kicked off the beginning of spring in the garden last week with a clean-up after school. April 8th volunteers came out to help till the soil, turn over rye crop, add compost, prune the herb garden, clear out dead plants and pick up litter. We accomplished a lot and it was great to see everyone's faces again! The next garden event will be Beautification day on Saturday, May 22nd.
