The Chelsea Community Garden was inaugurated in 1996 on a vacant corner lot. Today 45 Chelsea families garden in this "Oasis in the City," raising healthy vegetables and children.

Apart from growing plants, the Chelsea Community Gardeners Association also creates collaborations with many community organizations in Chelsea, such as the YouthBuild-JustAStart program's crew shown in this photo.

We invite you to take some time to browse our website and visit our garden.
