As July draws to a close and August draws near, we decided to take this moment to clean up our MLAB Community Garden.

Plus, it was the perfect occasion for us to use our new compost bin and liners from the to try our hand at composting our garden waste. 🍃

I’ll be the first to admit that pruning plants is a bit harder than it looks.

I’m just so fortunate my fellow MLAB colleagues were able to help me.

Although it was difficult for me, I was so happy to be learning hands on with folks that I trusted and knew were going to be helpful (even during moments like on the last slide).

MLAB Field Notes - 06/27/2025

It’s Summer…Summertime!

This week, we kicked off the Summer season with our Cambridge Plays () event; MLAB IN THE PARK.

We would love to thank all of our lovely MLAB neighbors for celebrating with us in Cambridge’s Jill Brown Rhone Park, where technology and community meet.

Our second annual Cambridge Plays almost seemed like it was going to be toast, like some of the plants in our MLAB Community Garden after a 100 degree day this week.

Nonetheless, it’s amazing what a little brainstorming can do. 💙

For our community who helped us transform the Sun Block Installation into a refuge for our MLAB IN THE PARK; Thank You!

To my MLAB colleagues, including our fabulous AIRs and volunteers; Thank You!

We can’t wait to share our upcoming Summer 2025 schedule with you all.

In the meanwhile, here is a little sneak peek into our MLAB IN THE PARK event this week.

Our community, despite the weather, truly did bring open minds and deep curiosity this week.

We hope that you are able to do so this weekend.

Whatever you decide to do this weekend, as always, remember to .
