Background

Gardens for Charlestown is a non-profit, all-volunteer garden and greenspace organization established in 1976. We own and maintain a 63 plot community garden and support neighborhood initiatives to reclaim abandoned or neglected public spaces throughout Charlestown.

The Garden welcomes visitors during daylight hours. Further, Gardens for Charlestown hosts several events every year to which the public is invited. There’s a midsummer lobster dinner, a flea market just after Labor Day, and a pumpkin festival for children in early October. Every other year, the Charlestown Garden Tour is a hugely popular sampler of Charlestown’s loveliest pocket gardens and urban oases. Finally, there’s always a prize-winning Gardens for Charlestown exhibit at the annual New England Flower Show.

We welcome energetic new members. If you live in Charlestown and would like to join us, please register on the waiting list maintained inside the Garden greenhouse.
