About the project
Design Plan for the Winthrop Street Garden:
Winthrop Street Community Garden will consist of 36 raised beds, compost area, a fence, a shed, and a picnic area. Our goal is to create more opportunities and more garden spaces for our entire community to access and enjoy. We've also included a dedicated educational area and beds that are wheel chair accessible.
The Friends of Medford Community Garden would like to raise 10-20% of the total cost to build the Winthrop Street Community Garden from our neighbors through this ioby campaign.
Although most the the funds will come from grants and donations, we feel it is important that the neighborhoods the garden will be serving contribute to the expense of building the garden. This will ensure long term stewardship for this much anticipated community asset.
The Steps
2. Build remaining beds
3. Add supporting items.
Each stage will be completed as funds allow.
Why we‘re doing it
Medford has 56,173 residents, but only one community garden at Riverbend Park. It has a long waiting list and cannot accommodate the number of people who desire gardening space. We aim to create more community gardens for the City of Medford so that more people can become involved.
