Growing your own food is more important than ever. Gardening has so many benefits: exercise, time outside, and of course, fresh, tasty food! 

We offer raised beds on a sliding scale basis. Our raised beds are 8’ x 4’ x 1’ and they include safe soil, seeds or seedlings (depending on the time of year), and ongoing support. 

Eligibility criteria to receive a raised bed are:

• Recipients have permission to place a raised bed on the property

• Recipients home address is in the following neighborhoods: Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan.

For monthly workshops about all things growing, please attend our Grow Series (see calendar of events). 

If you live outside of the neighborhoods where we install raised beds, consider growing food at your neighborhood community garden. Often plots are larger than raised beds. View this directory here. We created a map of the community gardens located in Mattapan, Roxbury, and Dorchester that  offer individual garden plots: view it here.
