This week has us in Boston and the surrounding area for a few days catching up with family and old friends. Yesterday’s wandering brought us to Fenway Garden Society, tended by residents of the city since 1942. Waitlist 2 years. Fee $25/year.
Enjoy these “over the fence” views of a few allotments. We saw it all from overgrown awaiting new stewardship, lasagna beds heating up, and full blown habitat for plants and people.
Opening photo from 1955 with a view to the 500 allotments on the lower left, part of Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace.
