Community projects
We take the “Community” part of our name seriously! As you drive or walk around Maynard, we hope you’ll enjoy the results of our ongoing gardening efforts, including:
- Welcome to Maynard planters and downtown buckets
- Maplebrook Park
- Plantings in CVS Alley
- Planter in front of the police station
- And other spots around town!
We also provide:
- Garden in the Woods passes, for public and club use, available at the Maynard Public Library
- Donations of books and magazine subscriptions to Maynard Public Library
- Sponsorship of annual town-wide clean-up
We were responsible for:
- Establishment of the Maynard Farmers Market in 1996 (now an independent organization)
- Establishment of the annual town-wide clean-up in 1998 (now organized by the Maynard Litter League)
- Design, installation, and maintenance of the Green Meadow School Japanese garden
As our mission includes town beautification, we have advocated for projects and programs that enhance the town’s appearance and character, including:
- Adoption of the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in 2006
- Repair of our bridges and replacement of the historic bridge lights
- Design, installation, and planting of Welcome to Maynard signs
- Municipal tree program, resulting in Maynard being named a 1999 Tree City USA
