Join the Boston Platoon at the Uphams Corner Food Forest In Dorchester to support one of their weekly community work days. We’re proud to be partnering with The Boston Food Forest Coalition for a day of service! Our projects may include tree care, weeding, planting, harvesting, and much more. Just show up ready to get your hands in the soil and meet some new friends. Be part of the change, let's roll up our sleeves and make an impact!
The Boston Food Forest coalition is a network of neighborhood-based, publicly accessible food gardens located throughout Boston. Since May 2014, the Boston Food Forest Coalition has been gardening the flagship demonstration site at Mass Audubon's Boston Nature Center in Mattapan. Forest gardens are now growing in Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, East Boston, Roxbury, West End, and schools & churches. Place-making parks benefit all Bostonians by reconnecting neighbors to nature and each other, through food, art and community festivals.
