At the Conservancy, spring is synonymous with seedlings. Along with the many buds and blooms on The Greenway, our horticulture staff are cultivating seedlings that will eventually be transplanted into the park. 

Did you know you can find fruits and vegetables along The Greenway? On Dewey Square, our Demo Garden becomes home to many of our seedlings and is where we grow beans, tomatoes, and other produce. Each year, a portion of this produce is donated to Loving Spoonfuls, a food rescue organization working in our community. 

For those unable to visit our Demo Garden in person, we invite you to #BringTheGreenwayHome with these step by step instructions on how to grow seedlings in your own home or backyard! 

Please note that while many nurseries, greenhouses, garden centers, and agriculture supply stores are open as essential services and may offer curbside pickup (or online ordering and delivery), we remind you to practice safe physical distancing at this time.
