Roslindale Green & Clean will hold its annual plant sale on Sunday, June 15, from 10am-1pm at the homes of two of their members – 53 Prospect Avenue (sun loving plants) and 5 Sheldon Street (shade loving plants) – just 3 houses apart. We’ll be selling plants from our members’ plant divisions, mostly perennials with some edibles, trees, and shrubs. If you are dividing plants this spring and have some to share, consider potting them up and labeling them for us to sell.

Mulch!
With substantial help from volunteer Boston University students, using bark mulch provided by the City of Boston, Roslindale Green & Clean applied a layer of mulch to Adams Park, Taft Hill Green Space, Savage Mini-Park, and other areas in Roslindale Village on Friday, September 2.
What a wonderful start to the Labor Day weekend! Thanks to all who helped us enter the fall season by creating more visually pleasing spaces as well as suppressing weeds and retaining moisture with a layer of organic material.
2022 Plant Sale
Roslindale Green & Clean would like to thank you for supporting us through our annual plant sale. We made over $2,000, which was an all-time record for us. Special thanks to all our friends who donated wonderful plant material for us to sell. We couldn’t do it without you!
2019 Roslindale Garden Tour A Great Success
RG&C’s 2019 Garden Tour was a tremendous success – our most successful garden tour to date.
Thanks to the garden owners who were willing to share their gardens with all of us, the volunteers who made the tour possible through their hard work, the sponsors who supported the tour, and, without any question, the many, many people who took advantage of great weather and beautiful gardens and went on the tour.
It was a privilege to be welcomed into the private backyard spaces on the tour, spaces we likely would never see without such an event.
Thank you all for your efforts on behalf of Roslindale Green & Clean.
We couldn’t have done it without you.

2019 Roslindale Garden Tour
With our 2018 gardening efforts finishing up, we’ve started work on our major 2019 effort – a new Roslindale Garden Tour.
The 2019 tour will take place on Saturday, June 22, 2019. It will feature six exceptional gardens in several neighborhoods of Roslindale.
We need volunteers to help with the tour, with tasks ranging from helping with winter/spring publicity, selling tickets at the Farmer’s Market in the weeks before the tour, and to working on Tour day to take tickets at the Tour gardens.
