Give
Thanks to a growing circle of generous donors, we've been walking through prison gates every week since 2013. In Greater-Boston prison yards, our students work hard to cultivate mindfulness and job skills for the green economy. Join us in the garden!
State funding minimally touches the need for prison-based education. The need is vast. Together, we can transform prison yards into new ecosystems where incarcerated adults work shoulder-to-shoulder with professional horticulturists and practice skills for a life outside. Our students need your clear-sighted compassion to build a bridge from prison to lives and livelihoods in Boston.
Give online or the old-fashioned way by mailing a check to: The New Garden Society P.O. Box 301264 Boston, MA 02130
Our students' ambitions are great. Let's meet them in the garden.

Wear your heart on your sleeve and support prison gardens at the same time! All our gear is printed in Dorchester and available in men's sizes S-XL. Hoodies and t-shirts feature TNGS' seal on the chest and 'Transforming Landscapes Transforming Lives' across the back.
