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!

4th grade studies weathering & erosion

I took a few photos while the Amigos 4th grade was learning about weathering and erosion in the garden last week. They ran trials on the stream table, set-up an experiment to look at stream speed and examined examples of weathering outside.
