Titus Sparrow Park Gardens


In Titus Sparrow Park, there are 8 community gardens along West Rutland Square and 7 gardens at the West Newton Street entrance, open to residents of the four neighborhoods involved in designing the park (Claremont, Cosmopolitan, Pilot Block and St. Botolph) and the Union United Methodist Church. Gardens must be kept clean and in good condition (see guidelines). Gardeners are expected to take out a $15 membership in the South End Lower Roxbury Open Space Land Trust. Send to SELROSLT, P.O. Box 180923, Boston, MA 02118.

To sign up for a possible garden in 2008, contact Ann Hershfang.

Also, volunteers are needed to help with ongoing light maintenance, weeding, and fall/spring bulb planting. It is a fun way to enjoy the park and your neighbors. Interested parties should contact Carol Fantozzi.

GUIDELINES FOR TITUS SPARROW PARK COMMUNITY GARDENS



  1. Gardening in public parks is a privilege. Gardens must enhance the park.
  2. Garden plot assignments are for one year. Gardeners must notify the Garden Coordinators by March 15 each year whether you will be keeping your garden.
  3. Garden plots must be planted, weeded, and trash-free during the growing season, and cleaned of dead plant material by November 15.
  4. By May 15, a garden plot showing no evidence of being worked will be forfeited and allocated to the gardener next on the waiting list. During the growing season, gardens must be cared for and attractive
    (see #1 above.)
  5. Garden plots will be available only to those without a plot in any other community garden.
  6. A gardener moving out of the area or wanting to relinquish the plot must promptly notify the Garden Coordinators so that the plot can be reassigned.
  7. If temporarily unable to maintain the plot, a gardener is encouraged to have another gardener, friend or neighbor take over for that time. If this is not possible, please contact the Garden Coordinators for a temporary solution. Garden plots may not be "sublet" to anyone else, except by the Garden Coordinators.
  8. No fences, structures or walls may be added to any plot.
  9. Community gardeners shall not bring pets into any plot.
  10. Gardeners shall respect other gardeners' property and not trespass or remove another gardener's produce without permission.


  11. Gardeners are asked for a $15 membership in the South End Lower Roxbury Open Space Land Trust. Please mail to SELROSLT, P.O. Box 180923, Boston, MA 02118 by May 1.
