Support Our 30th Anniversary Campaign!
What makes a Community Garden grow?
Community, of course.
The Growing Center Turns 30 in 2024!
Can you support our diverse, ongoing programming, part-time staff, and yearly operating costs? We encourage gifts in any amount. Larger one-time ($100+) or smaller monthly ($5 or $10) gifts are encouraged and appreciated! Or maybe you can give $30 - or $300! We are appreciative of any donations from our friends and supporters, whether it be here on our website via the Donate button; via sending us a check; or an on-site donation at an event!
Why Give Now?
Strategic planning is pointing us toward the long-term goal of serving a diverse Somerville population over our next 30 years, and beyond. Support these efforts - and our yearly operating costs - today! You are vital! Help us bring more local children and adults outside into nature to learn, engage and play.
