About Community Gardens
There are 14 active community gardens located throughout the City, serving as areas of beautification, vegetable production, and meeting places. The gardens are divided into plots and shared by groups of residents. The Cambridge Conservation Commission encourages the formation and continuance of community gardens. Residents interested in participating in the community gardens program should review the city garden policy application .
All applications will be processed in the order they are received and added to the appropriate waitlist. Applicants will only be contacted when a plot becomes available for their use. Please be aware that the wait may be in excess of 2 years.
