Navy Yard Garden

Navy Yard Garden Our 2017 inaugural projects were a beautiful overhaul of two gardens near Shipyard Park.

We are a 501c3 formed in 2017 to help the Boston Planning and Development Agency revitalize and enhance its public open spaces within the Charlestown Navy Yard. After revitalizing two derelict gardens we moved on to raising funds for two art installations: The Big Dog Show in 2018 and the year-long Wind on Water that was installed in May of 2020.
