Rooted in Resilience. Growing Together.

Blackwater Rising is more than a garden initiative—it’s a movement grounded in the strength of Cambridge and the power of community.

Inspired by our city’s legacy of changemakers, we’re building a network of community gardens that nourish bodies, spark connections, and foster local pride. Every bed we plant is an act of hope. Every harvest is a step toward food security and collective healing.

Your support helps us grow—literally and figuratively. With your help, we can expand garden sites, engage more volunteers, and provide fresh, healthy food to more neighbors.

Join us in cultivating a stronger, more connected Cambridge. Give today.
