Interested in Helping to Redesign a Community Garden?, Jan 14

January 10, 2010 by RFoley

You are invited to the Nightingale Community Gardens Community Meeting on Thursday January 14, 6:30 PM at the Codman Square Health Center Tech Center 450 Washington Street, (corner of Park Street, across from KFC).
Everyone in the Park Street/Washington Street vicinity is invited to participate in this open community meeting hosted by the Boston Natural Areas Network (BNAN) to discuss proposed renovations at the large open space community gardens located at 512 Park Street.

This is a huge underutilized green space near Codman Square. BNAN expects the following to be included in the plans for the construction phase:

• Removal of soil contamination and soil remediation
• Replace 10-foot tall fence with more inviting 5-foot tall fence
• Install metered water connection and spigots
• Remove or prune many of the trees in the garden
• Re-grade the garden
• Lay out and build new plots, including raised beds, to accommodate many more additional gardeners
• Establish new and level garden paths
• Build a common area for social gathering, meetings and community events
