City of Boston program will build you a free raised garden bed and fill it with soil

 Program signup here. It looks like there aren't any requirements other than living in Boston.

About Me

My photo
Loco Motive
I am a stay-mostly-at-home parent due to turns of events including a child with disabilities, relatives to care for, family members suddenly joining my household, and other unexpected situations that I can't imagine my life without. Many of the sites I've come across about making ends meet in Boston focus more on students and recent graduates; I wanted to create one to chronicle resources, struggles, and triumphs relevant to an established inner-city family with children. Unlike other "steals and deals" sites that help the site owner more than they help people looking for opportunities, anything I post here is something I or someone I know has personally used and been satisfied with. Some of the things I post here are purely for the purpose of sharing and others do make me a bit of money, but I never knowingly misrepresent anything.
