Join us at the Ribbon Cutting - April 30th @11:30am
Mayor Ballantyne and OSPCD’s Public Space and Urban Forestry Division invite you to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony for the expansion of the Glen Park Community Gardens. We hope you will join us in celebrating the addition of 18 new garden beds for residents in Somerville!
Tuesday April 30th at 11:30 AM (Rain date: Friday May 3rd at 11 AM)
5 Palmer Ave, Somerville, MA
The City purchased this property in 2017 with the intention of expanding the existing community garden at Glen Park. After demolition, design, and hiring a contractor, the team worked all winter to complete the project. The new garden area features 18 raised beds with different levels of accessibility (including accessible beds for gardeners in a wheelchair), a new shed, new spigots, and a renovated gathering area outside of the garden. Support and funding come from the Community Preservation Commission with funds from the Community Preservation Act and the Community Development Block Grant Program.
The ribbon cutting ceremony will mark the completion of this project. 18 residents will be able to join this gardening community and we can’t wait to see what they grow!
