For the first time ever The Boston Community Gardens Team will be hosting a hands on Master Urban Gardener (MUG) Practicum class. This is the perfect opportunity to hone your gardening skills in an intensive and hands on class at the peak of planting season. Explore what City Natives has to offer from a full greenhouse setup to rare fruit trees.

This program is open to all, but is suggested in tandem with our winter or fall MUG sections.

The cohort will be hosted weekly from May 2nd to June 6th (with Memorial Day weekend off) from 3-4:30pm at City Natives Greenhouse in Mattapan, 30 Edgewater Drive. This course will be sliding scale $0-150
