October doesn’t mean the growing season has to end. 🌱

As temperatures drop, the soil gets colder and the window for growing gets shorter. But with thoughtful planning and season extension, our farmers can continue growing and harvesting well into the fall.

This October, you’ll find crops like:

🥬 Kale
🌱 Lettuce
🌿 Baby Greens
🌿 Arugula
🌱 Scallions

Growing food this time of year takes more than simply planting a crop and hoping for the best.

Our farmers plan around changing temperatures, choose crops that can handle cooler conditions, and use season-extension techniques to help gardens keep producing.

It’s part of what we value at Green City Growers: building agricultural literacy, creating opportunities to learn by growing food, and showing what’s possible when we work with the seasons.

The growing season may be changing, but there’s still plenty growing. 🍂🌱

Last week, we gathered with our clients, supporters, friends, and our Green City Growers community to celebrate another year of growing food, knowledge, and community. 🌱

A special highlight of the evening was presenting the 2026 Gus Schumacher Award for Advocacy of Agriculture, Farming, and Food System Education to the Judge John J. Connelly Youth Center of the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services.

We’re proud to celebrate the people behind their horticulture program and the work they’re doing to give young people meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and experience the joy of growing their own food.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special. Here’s to another year of growing together. 🌱

The garden is already growing. 🌱

We recently showed you the process of installing these beds for at the West Broadway location in South Boston. Now, people in the community are already putting them to use!

Built to last and ready to grow, these beds are creating space for neighbors to grow the food and plants they want, right in their own community.

And this is just one of many locations where GrowBoston is bringing new garden beds to neighborhoods across Boston.

From installation to growth, we’re excited to see what grows next. 🔨

Green City Growers’ gardens start long before the first seed goes in the soil. 🌱

There’s a whole lot that happens behind the scenes before a garden is ready to grow. Our Operations Team spends their days measuring, cutting, assembling, loading, and getting garden beds ready for the communities they’ll soon become a part of.

There’s a lot of thought that goes into these beds, from the materials we use to how they’ll be experienced by the people who grow, gather, and connect around them. The goal is simple: build something that lasts and helps create a great garden experience from the very beginning.

Right now, our team is putting that work toward the Raised Bed Program, building 175 garden beds for select nonprofit organizations working to increase food security in low-income neighborhoods and strengthen neighborhood food systems.

It’s a lot of work, but it’s pretty rewarding to see a stack of materials slowly turn into something that will soon be growing food in a community.

We’re grateful for the Operations Team and all the care they put into making these gardens happen. 🌱

Looking back at the beautiful garden memory art and thank you letters from our amazing students as we enter a new year. We are already looking forward to all of the growth, creativity, and unforgettable moments that will happen in our school gardens this spring! 🌸🐝

As we start off 2026, we’re filled with gratitude and pride for all the incredible work accomplished at Green City Growers in the past year. A huge thank you to our dedicated partners, community collaborators, and everyone who supports our mission, we wouldn’t be here without you!

We are beyond lucky to bring the magic of food-growing to so many different communities, from schools and multi-family housing to corporate offices and beyond. Each garden we tend, each partnership we grow, and each person we inspire is a reminder of the impact we can make on the local food system when we work together.

Here’s to another year of cultivating connections and growing with purpose! 🎉🌿

Earlier this fall, we installed 5 units at a biopharma company located in Cambridge. They were looking for an office amenity that would contribute to green building points and create real impact by providing employees with fresh produce.

After a couple of weeks of growth, their lobby was filled with fresh herbs that employees were invited to harvest directly from the wall. This first program was a success! Every last leaf was harvested off the wall, and everyone left with a bundle of new veggies to try. Excited to continue growing the urban ag movement close to home! 🥬 🌿

From the heart of downtown Boston to neighborhoods of the South Shore, our gardens are making lasting community impacts one seed at a time!

This summer, we followed two of our farmers out to some of our and multi-family sites to celebrate the joys of connecting over freshly grown produce. Whether it’s attending an indoor hydroponics harvest event or planting seeds in our raised beds out in the sun, we love connecting with our participants and hearing their stories from the garden. Cheers to continuing to grow together and cultivating their communities!☀️🥬

🌟Site Spotlight: Caldwell! GCG runs a thriving rooftop garden at this multi-family residence building in Lynn. Rooftop growing is one of the many ways agriculture can be integrated into urban building designs.

This amenity creates a new space for social interaction beyond the lobby and the mailroom. Farming allows residents to connect over a common goal, such as maintaining a specific bed each week or harvesting a new crop. Our garden beds cross generational divides and create spaces for connection, learning, and growth!
