Friends of the Robbins Town Gardens
About
The Friends of the Robbins Town Gardens is a nonprofit dedicated to restoring, preserving, protecting and maintaining the town gardens in Arlington Center. The gardens sit between Arlington Town Hall and the Robbins Library, and the group describes them as hidden gardens at the center of town, with many flowering shrubs in spring. Members work on replanting, pruning and tending the beds, and the group posts progress updates as the work moves forward.
Community work days are part of the calendar. The Friends have organized spring cleanups and sponsored an Earth Day cleanup in the gardens in 2024, inviting volunteers to help with seasonal chores. To raise money, they host a fundraising garden party in the gardens on a June evening. An annual meeting, open to members and nonmembers, reviews the year’s accomplishments, sets goals and elects officers and board members.
