Welcome!

Founded in 2011, Watertown Community Gardens’ (WCG) mission is to empower people to grow their own food, promote environmental stewardship, and cultivate community connections through gardening in Watertown.

WCG has created and maintains several public pollinator gardens throughout the city to support native plants and pollinators, such as birds, bees and butterflies.

We hold volunteer work days, during which volunteers help with garden care while learning about the benefits of planting native plants and how they can beautify the community.

While WCG’s community garden space has been limited in 2023 and 2024, we are actively seeking  new spaces to establish community gardens in the future, and eagerly awaiting the reopening of the newly rebuilt, improved and expanded Arsenal Park Community Garden in 2025.

Thank you to our generous supporters for helping us pursue our mission:
