Community Gardens

Welcome to the heart of green in the city of Revere! We are thrilled to invite you to explore and be a part of our thriving community garden. Our mission is simple yet profound--to cultivate a space where neighbors come together, dig into the soil, and watch not only their gardens blossom but also the sense of community that flourishes alongside. There are four existing community gardens in Revere.
