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!

Field trip to Gaining Ground Farm

Today we lent a hand harvesting beans, cucumbers and blackberries at Gaining Ground Farm in Concord, MA. All of the produce is donated to meal programs, pantries and shelters. The land at Gaining Ground has been farmed for over 300 years and is known as the birthplace of Henry David Thoreau.
