This is one of Boston's many community gardens. Located in the South End on the corner of East Berkeley Street and Tremont Street, the Berkeley Community Gardens offer about 150 garden plots. Any Bostonian can be a part of the garden, and plots are assigned through a lottery during the fall cleanup every year. This is not a free program, however, because as many people know, it costs money to keep the common areas of a shared garden clean and picked up. The garden offers bi-weekly group clean ups, which allows time for fellow gardeners to network and come together as a community. The garden was started after the urban renewal movement in the 80's, and was previously a row of brick houses (similar to the rest of the South End). This garden is part of the South End Lower Roxbury Open Space Land Preservation Trust.
