This past Fall we completed our new picnic pavilion. We're excited about the new possibilities to build community around the garden.
Our garden is for families with young children who would like to grow some of their own food. Don’t worry if you’re new to gardening. We can help you get started through several experienced volunteer gardeners you can turn to for instruction and advice. This is a great opportunity for families who live in an apartment without their own space. BHF is looking for families wishing to garden a half or full 4’X8’ box. It is first come first served. In addition to the garden and pavilion we have a sand box with new play features for children planned for next Spring.
Here are a few reasons gardening is a great opportunity for families with young children. We'll be adding more play feartures for young children this Spring.
- It's an activity that children love to do with their parents.
- You get to enjoy your favorite fresh vegetables all summer.
- You make new friends and you save money!
- Opportunities are available to learn from a Master Gardener.

We hope to offer the Imagination Playgrond on a regular schedule this summer so families can tend their garden while their children enjoy the playground at the Frank Cheney Mansion. You can request the application by emailing us at
