Gardens For Life

Loved seeing the inspiring designs for Boston's BIG PARKS as part of Boston Design Week. Cheri Ruane crushed it with her presentation of the plan for a revitalized Boston Common. I'm excited to see where the plan for Franklin Park goes, since it's my daily park for outdoor adventure. And did you know there's going to be a giant slide on City Hall Plaza?

People poke fun at Boston for boasting it's a world-class city. Parks like these will make it so.

Franklin Park Action Plan On March 10th, we reviewed preliminary design ideas for Franklin Park. There are still opportunities to view draft projects and share your feedback to inform the team’s design decisions and next steps. Watch our March 10th workshop below or download the presentation to review it on your own!

At Gardens For Life, we're experts in the unique challenges of maintaining landscapes for play and learning. It’s a joy to teach people how to keep their play spaces growing and thriving. I’m equal parts horticulture expert, cheerleader, logistical planner, and matchmaker (matching the client’s interest and capacity with the required tasks).
