Our Gardens
Bountiful Brookline's Gardens serve as collectively-run areas for demonstration and community involvement. All workers are welcome – join the crew! Volunteer for a workday and other activities in the garden before, during, and after the growing season.
Greenside Out Garden at Brookline Community Foundation
Our home base, this garden provides a setting to demonstrate effective methods of urban agriculture by growing food for the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry and to sell to the community. Our dedicated volunteer crew of new and seasoned gardeners is responsible for day to day work in the garden.

Goodwin Garden on Goodwin Place
At the Goodwin Garden, a garden-sharing project with Brookline Village neighbor Margo Lockwood, we have began building lasagna beds, also known as sheet mulching, which involves putting down layers of soil-enhancing material before planting. Garden Wish List
Materials and Volunteers
Our wish list for materials includes mulching materials like wood chips, straw, leaves, grass clippings, or compost; also a produce scale and tools.
With two spaces to work on this year, we also wish for more volunteers. We have group workdays as needed and take turns with daily weeding, watering and, when the time comes, with harvesting and delivering produce to the nearby food pantry. It's fun, great exercise, a fine way to learn, teach, and share gardening know-how, and meet good people - all for a good cause.
Please email Marie (mbenkley@gmail.com) to volunteer or help with our wish list. Thanks!
