Boston Gardeners' Council

WORKING TOGETHER TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE URBAN GARDENING

A voice for Boston’s community and residential gardeners, the Boston Gardener Council (BGC) meets regularly to organize and promote sustainable urban gardening efforts and community gardening. We believe that gardens are as integral to Boston's larger environmental system as its parks and playgrounds, to be included in city planning and to receive regular municipal support and services. We seek to make it possible for every neighborhood to have access to gardens, where residents of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds and cultures can enjoy the benefits of healthy food, recreation and community beautification, with neighbors working together for their common interest.

All gardeners are welcome to join!
