Together, we’re sowing the seeds of community resilience and self-reliance, and this is our chance to share it with the next generation of urban farmers!”
Event Highlights include: Educational demonstrations on gardening, beekeeping, mushroom growing, composting, maple sugaring, acorn and other native nut processing, growing and nurturing backyard fruit trees, raising chickens and caring for pigeons in your backyard, and more!

Thank you to Nasreen Latif who has coordinated this wonderful event for 20-25 Northeastern students.
We are looking for Gardeners to welcome the student volunteers and help guide them throughout the morning. Let us know if you need help in your plot and with what!
"[Student] Volunteers will spend the day caring for the Symphony Road Community Garden, a neighborhood green space tucked right in the heart of Boston. Tasks will include cleaning up the common areas, supporting individual plots, and preparing the garden for fall planting—with guidance from garden coordinators.
