Friends,
I
defer to Betsy Johnson on this and most things community
garden...
This
New York boy stands corrected. The Richard Parker Memorial Victory Garden has
been continuously operated since 1942, eh....
Well I
gotta go to Boston for more than the Green Monster and James Levine taking over
the music directorship of the Boston Symphony!
Best
wishes,
Adam

Eagle Heights is not THE oldest (just one of the
oldest). The Richard Parker Memorial Victory Gardens in Boston's Fenway
area has been a continuously operating community garden since 1942 (there may be
a few other of the war-time victory gardens around too). The Fenway
Victory Garden has 450 plots. Betsy in Boston
