GrowBoston says MissionSAFE, VietAID, and ADSL built ten community garden beds at Town Field for Dorchester residents, with some beds used in youth education programming. A 2025 Henry Lee Fund award supports improvements to the existing community teaching garden. Town Field is a public Boston park, but PlotPal has not verified unrestricted use of the individual teaching-garden beds. The pin is approximate within Town Field because current City sources identify the park and program but do not publish a surveyed bed footprint. Current verified participation or information links include GrowBoston Raised Bed Program.
