Meet Anj: FTSGC Creator and Member
Hi, I’m Anjali Iyengar and I lead beautification and gardening efforts at Titus Sparrow Park.
As a 13-year South End resident, this park has become an extension of my home – a place where my kids learned how to scoot and go sledding each winter, and where they meet their classmates every weekend.
I strongly believe that our green spaces are for everyone and that small improvements can make a big difference. While I consider myself an amateur gardener, tending TSP has taught me that participation and showing up are more meaningful than creating perfection.
Please join me on my gardening journey in making a long-lasting impression on our beloved local park.
