Grown in Somerville Sign

Welcome to the Groundwork Somerville booth at the local Farmers' Market! Come two Saturdays a month and learn from local youth the importance of purchasing local produce.

Local Somerville Maple Syrup

Yes -- Even SOMERVILLE can produce delicious maple syrup. At this joint effort between Groundwork Somerville and the Somerville Community Growing Center, Aviva Asher, Gardens Coordinator, teaches young Somervillians the science behind maple syrup.

Locally made products

Youth participants can also try their hand at creating new products. This Schoolyard Salve was made with herbs and flowers from our gardens. The logo was created by a high school employee.

Harvesting from the garden

Here at the Healey School, Groundwork Somerville garden clubbers hard at work.
