About
GrowBoston builds on the long-term work of the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH). MOH, through the Grassroots Program, has been supporting the development of. community gardens, urban farms, food forests, and other open spaces through land disposition and capital funding for more than 25 years.
GrowBoston will be working to increase community gardens, urban farms, and other food-growing spaces throughout Boston. We will support the implementation of innovative food production strategies, such as rooftop growing, vertical growing, and hydroponics.
We provide technical help to prospective and existing gardens and farms. Our team develops educational and other food production resources for gardeners, farmers, and residents. We partner with sister agencies to leverage public facilities to increase food production. We also coordinate with other City departments to make food production more accessible in Boston.
Grassroots Program
The Grassroots program supports the development of community gardens and other open spaces. The program provides grant funds, City-owned land, and technical help to neighborhood groups and nonprofits. The goal is to help those who want to organize, develop, own, manage, and maintain community gardens, farms, and other open space in low- and moderate- income neighborhoods.
Gardening Tip Sheets
GrowBoston offers guides to help you reach the next level in gardening. Topics include weed management, container gardening, and seed saving. These tip sheets are targeted at gardeners with some previous knowledge. Please contact GrowBoston if you need assistance with gardening basics.
