Join the Friends of the Public Garden’s Border Brigade Thursdays, 5 pm – 7 pm, to help at the Boylston Street border.

Gloves, knee pads, and some brief instruction on weed identification will be provided. No previous experience necessary and one can participate every week, a couple of weeks, or only once. You’ll get a free Friends of the Public Garden t-shirt and a book about the Public Garden. Feel free to bring your favorite small hand tools. Email info@friendsofthepublicgarden.org if you are interested, and to confirm dates (weather may affect the schedule.)
