Explore the newest feature on offer at the Boston Children's Museum: Fenway Farms Rooftop Garden, where children and families have the opportunity to interact with living organisms led by knowledgeable farmer educators, to explore and use the imagination in thinking about the plants and animals who live in it and in other natural spaces.

This new 1,100-square-foot space is a replica of the rooftop garden at Fenway Park. The Garden will change seasonally and will include sunflowers, strawberries, carrots, peas, spinach, and other plants and vegetables, some of which will be shared with the Museum’s animal life, such as red leaf lettuce for the turtles on exhibit. Excess produce harvested from the site will be donated to Lovin’ Spoonfuls, a Boston-based nonprofit organization that distributes fresh, healthy food that would otherwise be discarded.

Fenway Farms Garden provides a space for visitors and staff to get outside and learn, explore, and play through plants and gardening and will be operational through October with regular program activities. Visit Boston Children's Museum's website for information about scheduled programming in the Garden, Museum ticketing, and more.
