    Join volunteers from Watertown Community Gardens in maintaining our public gardens, which support native bees, butterflies, birds, and more.  

    We will start each maintenance day by taking a close look at the gardens, to see which bees and other wildlife might be living there.

    Fall garden maintenance activities may include planting new plants, weeding,  pruning, adding compost, mulching, etc.

    Any participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event.

    Location:

    We will be meeting at the DPW first, and sending a smaller team to the Knowles Delta after group introductions and instructions have been reviewed.

    **This garden has been thriving, and many plants can be moved to new gardens.  If you'd like to bring some plants home with you, bring your own pots or bags to transport them.**

    Location Details:

    The garden is located in the center of Filippello Park, near the children’s splash pad, covered picnic tables, and bathroom building.

    Parking Details:

    We recommend parking in the parking lot at Filippello Park, accessed from Grove Street, or on the east side of the park, along Arlington Street. NOTE: Both parking locations are a short walk from the gardens; Arlington St is about a 400-foot walk, the parking lot is about a 700-foot walk.
