Thinking of joining a community garden?  In this workshop, explore the vast variety of community gardens in Boston from gardens on the rooftops to postage stamp size gardens tucked between residences.  Learn how community gardens support cultural exchange, community building, sustainability and healthy lifestyles.  Most importantly, we will discuss how to get involved in community gardening by starting, joining or volunteering at a garden in your community!
