How to create and maintain
A Blooming Garden:

photo of person with crops Gardening will "grow" through trial and error, this is how most gardeners approach their adventure. Your tomatoes look small and some are even rotten, while at the same time your neighbor's plot has the largest tomatoes you have ever seen... Have a little chat with this guy, and find out for yourself how he did it! Now here is community gardening at its best: interaction with other people and at the same time getting a workout (digging and shoveling is tough...) and produce food for your family and/or neighbors.
To help you along the way here are a few links worth checking out:

  • Design ideas,
  • A list of plant species that would do well in Boston
  • Composting/Recycling your garden products
