Ribbon Cutting for Glen Park Community Garden Expansion

Rain date: Friday, May 3rd at 11 AM 

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!

This project began in 2017 with the acquisition of a residential property with the intention of expanding the existing community garden at Glen Park. After demolishing the house, completing design, and hiring a contractor, the team has been hard at work all winter to complete construction. 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!
