What is Grow Charlestown?


“Grow Charlestown” is about neighbors working together to create a place of beauty and abundance right outside our doorstep. Our aim is to provide space for growing healthy food, especially for those in the neighborhood who do not have access to usable land. Throughout the next several months, we will be creating a neighborhood garden on a small portion of the field located on the southwest corner of Charlestown and 48th Ave. We realize that many of our neighbors also use this open space for recreation and as an off-leash area for pets. Our hope is to preserve a large open area while also providing ample space to grow food for ourselves and for donation to a local foodbank.

We have been granted permission by the property owners to create a garden for the use of the neighborhood. There is a waiver form that all gardeners will need to sign in order to use the property for gardening.
