Installing a vest pocket garden

Category: Vest Pocket Gardens

This is an experiment:  can we install small, manageable gardens in the front yards of homes in Asylum Hill?  We’re calling them “vest pocket gardens,” a riff on “vest pocket parks,” and the idea is to beautify the streetscape without overwhelming homeowners, some of whom won’t be gardeners.  If this works, we’ll see about rolling it out more widely.

We are cheating by experimenting here at 89 Atwood Street, I should say by way of full transparency.  The homeowner here is an exceptionally gifted gardener.
