TNGS celebrates 10 years of service to our incarcerated neighbors!
We joyfully thank our network for
⁕ hundreds of community meals served in prison yards ⁕ bilingual English/Spanish classrooms ⁕ nearly 1,000 individual connections with incarcerated people in Massachusetts ⁕
"Thanksgiving to everyone that came to teach us. They all share each one's skills and also put in work with us to make it all happen together as one." -L.
We're not finished blooming
The gardens are resting until spring, but our work is in its high season! Stay with us in this crucial planning period for 2025 and support the next decade of prison gardens in greater Boston.
"The garden is my #1 favorite program in the jail. It's the calm you need here!" -R.
TNGS is a lean and determined community organization; the capacity of our programs is only as strong as our donor base. Your support determines how we stock our classrooms, transport volunteers, and nourish gardens in prison yards.

⁕ $50 funds seedlings, perennials and trees

⁕ $250 adds fertility to prison garden soils
⁕ $500 brightens prison yards with daffodils
"[The program] has allowed me to get in touch with my youth. It reminded me of my childhood, as I grew plants with my parents. It was a time of peace and innocence. For a long time I felt like I was losing touch with the soil. But this experience has connected me back to mother Earth." -J.
