Once a year the ACGA holds a convention which draws gardeners from across North America. They come to learn, to meet, to see and to confirm the value of Community Gardens. If the ACGA didn't exist, it would have to be invented. Luckily it does exist and it is a great non-profit.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community & Neighborhood Development, Economic Development, Environment, Environmental Beautification, Food, Food, Agriculture & Nutrition
Mission: The organization serves Boston's 250 community gardens which directly involve 10,000 individuals and families. As they garden together, neighborhoods become more cohesive, and pride grows in place of littered vacant lots. Community gardens provide a source of inexpensive, nutritious food, and rewarding personal experience, but also are the result of shared collective effort of people working together. Garden Futures provides education and resources support programs so the gardeners and the garden-owning organizations can continue to maintain this second park system in Boston.
