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!

We are waking up the garden!





It is spring and the garden is coming alive! There are hyacinths, alliums, and garlic coming up. The winter rye is a brilliant green. We have cleared a garden bed and started planting peas.

Yesterday a kindergarten class from Amigos came out to the garden in the rain! They helped clear the winter straw from some of the garden beds to observe the garlic that they planted in the fall!

We are excited to continue planting spring vegetables including spinach, beans, beets, turnips, and radishes. The compost is ready to be spread and the seeds are all set to be planted. The garden is full of life!
