Worcester Street Community Garden

Despite having lived in Boston for several years it never felt like home until I started a garden in the Worcester Street Community Garden. I love that there’s an 8 by 8 (or so) plot out there that’s mine; I can cultivate my favorite veggies and flowers, chat with neighbors I’d have never met, and ultimately reap some delicious rewards.
Some specifics: you need to live in the South End to be eligible to apply and there is a waiting list, but plots turn over each year as people move away. I love this garden and it’s clear that the other members do too.
