BEACON HILL COMMUNITY GARDEN

The Beacon Hill Community Garden began in 2008 with a grant from Green Spaces Alliance. With the help of dedicated volunteers, garden beds were built from recycled concrete, soil was brought in, and an herb garden, butterfly garden, vegetable beds, cactus garden and native grasses were planted. Besides providing beautification for the neighborhood, the garden has become a setting for education, recreation, social gatherings, and gives those who work and walk through it a sense of connection to the environment. The committee organizes monthly workdays and other garden events. Free plots are available.
