Join us for the First Annual Jamaica Plain Garden Tour!
The inaugural year will feature private gardens in the Sumner Hill and Central neighborhoods of Jamaica Plain, an area full of charming historical homes with lush gardens. Many of the gardens feature beautiful stonework and water features, as well as unique specimen plants reflecting the historical influence of the Arnold Arboretum in the neighborhood. We're grateful to garden owners for sharing their spaces to support 56 Trustees community gardens and parks citywide, 12 of which are located in JP. This year's Tour begins at JP Licks!
We are looking for volunteers to serve as Garden Sitters. You'll be stationed in a garden to welcome visitors, answer questions, and ensure that visitors have a great experience. As a thank you, volunteers receive a complimentary ticket to the Tour that can be used either before or after your shift. Gardening experience, plant knowledge, and/or familiarity with Jamaica Plain helpful but not necessary!
Two shifts are available:
9:30am-12pm
11:30am-2pm
