About Us
Situated in the heart of Boston’s Fenway neighborhood and a link in Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, the Fenway Victory Gardens span 7 acres tended by a community of over three hundred gardeners from every neighborhood in Boston, from a diversity of backgrounds and cultures, ages, abilities and experience.

While one of the only remaining World War Two victory gardens, today the gardens are home not only to vegetable gardens, but to floral gardens, a community herb garden, a wheelchair Accessible Garden, and a Teaching Garden. A meadow at the gardens' center is ideal for picnics.
