About the Program: 

This garden will raise awareness that even small plots of land in a densely populated area such as Somerville can be used to create community and to make the world a bit brighter and more beautiful. A city can feel impersonal, but a garden makes people stop and look. It makes people more connected to where they live and ultimately more invested in it.
