Help Care for the Acton Community Garden
The Acton Community Garden is cared for by community members, and everyone is welcome to help keep it thriving. Outside of our regular Wednesday drop-in time from 4–7 PM, visitors can support the garden by watering plants, pulling small weeds, picking up litter, and helping keep pathways clear and tidy. Please be gentle around garden beds, avoid harvesting unless the fruit/veggie is ripe, and leave tools and supplies where you found them. Every small act of care helps this shared space stay healthy, welcoming, and beautiful for the whole community.
Join us Wednesdays
