A resident community garden at the Boston Housing Authority's Commonwealth developments in Brighton. BHA's 2026 annual-plan response describes a formerly overgrown area transformed into a 56-bed garden with permeable pathways and a bioswale for stormwater management. PlotPal lists Commonwealth Community Garden as a community garden in Brighton, Boston. The public listing address is Commonwealth Family / Commonwealth Elderly, 35 Fidelis Way, Brighton, MA 02135. The listed steward organization is Boston Housing Authority / Commonwealth residents. Verified participation information currently includes communal growing, education, events programs. BHA reports 56 raised beds plus green-infrastructure features. The garden is part of BHA's resident sustainability and food-production work; PlotPal currently treats participation as development/community based unless BHA publishes broader access. This is a resident-focused BHA garden. The development address is verified, but PlotPal does not yet have a surveyed bed-level garden pin or evidence of unrestricted public access.
