CitySprouts Day 2026

Thank you for joining us in celebrating CitySprouts Day on Thursday, May 21st!

We highlighted all of our Cambridge school gardens and the hard work and dedication our Garden Educators have put into maintaining them. Mayor Siddiqui joined us for a garden class at King Open to celebrate.

As stated in the proclamation, "The City of Cambridge is grateful for CitySprouts' commitment to enriching the socio-emotional and educational experiences for thousands of Cambridge students and for providing important, real-life opportunities to engage in natural science concepts, make real-world observations, and build meaningful connections to food systems and their environment."

We're thrilled to continue celebrating community and care for our gardens together. Join us by sharing your love for CitySprouts on social media and following us on our celebration journey.
