To prepare for all of this we will have our Monthly Garden Meeting as usual on the first Tuesday of the Month i.e. this Tue 4 April from 7-9 pm
@ Susan’s, 66 Bradfield Ave #1, 02131 Roslindale
Items on the agenda will include:
- Preparation for Leland Garden Community Day
- Preparation for next Work-Party incl.
- Planting more seeds
- Seedling Order
- Lawn Restauration
- Preparation for Garden Bed Building Workshop
- Season Planning
Mark your calendars – 29 April, 2-5pm!:
Leland Garden Community Day
The Working Group on cooperative practices and principles at Leland Garden meet again last Saturday and had a very productive meeting. Apart from talking about equity, inclusion and diversity and other concepts such as co-creation and mutual-aid we also spent some time on the preparation of the Leland Garden Community Day where we want to further elaborate with the community on those principles.
The Leland Garden Community Day will be a fun afternoon in the garden with food, drinks (maybe some music), with the main purpose being to (re-)introduce the Garden to the community and learn how you can use or become involved in the Garden. In addition to a short presentation we intend to have the following four information tables:
- Welcome Table and information about how to get involved
- Gardening and Garden Tours
- How we intend to Co-Create and be a place of Mutual Aid
- Kids in the Garden and Kid Activities
We need help to make this a great community event (perform music / help with one of the tables / bring food, etc.)!! If you want to help please get in touch with us or come to the next Monthly Meetings next Tuesday or the Work-Party on Sat. 15 April.

And even though it’s staying windy, wet and not too warm we getting ready for our next WorkParty – this time on an exceptional basis on a Sunday to account for the Gardeners’ Gathering by the Trustees on Saturday (see their programme here).
WorkParty, Sun 19 March, as of 11am
Wear warm cloth or work hard. Items we want to tackle include
- Organising our sheds so we can have some seedlings in there

At our last Garden Meeting last Tuesday we also worked on our season planning. While there certainly be more events added as the season moves on (like our annual Harvest Hoopla Fundraiser) here is the current schedule:
| We like to highlight the Special meeting on cooperative practices and principles and preparation for Community Meeting on Sat, 25 March 1-4pm at Alex’s house, 24 Wachusett St.. As announced in a previous newsletter this meeting is the follow-up to a meeting held in January which focused very much on the cooperative principles. At this meeting we will continue the conversation with a special focus on inclusion and political statements and finish with preparations for the Community Meeting on April 29th. From the neighborhood: Great opportunity to manage your own vegetable garden: Our lovely neighbours Mariella and Jim who live at 31 Barlow St (the dead end street down left off Wachusett St. by the baseball field) would love to offer their many above ground garden beds and pots to anyone interested to grow veggies. All of the the beds and pots have nice organic soil and are spread around their house in mostly sunny locations. Their two dogs may be in the yard at times, so comfort with dogs is a must. If you are interested please contact Jim at jameshinsman@yahoo.com. |

Our seed order has been compiled – thanks Kathleen, Annie, Robin and Susan!! We can all look forward to lots of greens and sharable crops this season 🙂
Finally we discussed some workshops and hope that the Trustees will assign some of them to our garden. If you want to host any workshops in the garden please let us know.

Dear Garden Friends
First of all we want to wish all of you a Happy New Year and lots of fun, happiness, health and great harvests for 2023.

Slightly different Work-Party this month
We are in the process of planning a big community gathering in the Spring where we want to invite old and new neighbors to (re-)introduce the garden, highlight opportunities to plug-in and hear ideas and initiatives from the community.
In preparation for this we want to use one of the few ‘frozen-out work-parties’ to gather indoors and review our cooperative principles and community engagement. We will be meeting Sat 21 January from 1pm – 4pm
at Lindsay and Alex’s (24 Wachusett St Apt 3). ***ZOOM OPTION as well. Please email Alex for the link lelandgardeninfo@gmail.com
We’ll start by having a nice warm soup before we dive into the agenda which will include items like:
- What is a Cooperative?
- Review cooperative principles and practises of the last 40 years of Leland Garden
- Structure and tasks within the Cooperative?
- How to participate in a Cooperative?
- Decision taking within the Cooperative
- Conflict resolution
- Need to update past principle and practises?
If you have interest in these topics and want to help us refresh our – very loose – and hopefully also after the meeting not to rigid – principles please join. As we will be preparing soup and other materials send us an e-mail by next week Thursday if you intend to come. We also would like to ask everyone who is coming to this meeting to take a rapid Covid-Test before as we will be together for three hours indoors.

Please come out and help this Saturday 10:30am – 3ish. We have tasks galore to enjoy including, but not limited to:
planting about 60 plants
sorting through our little tool shed
rebuilding beds
potentially building a entry arbor
weeding
With the Growing season starting, we also want to remind you that everything we do at Leland Garden is shared – Tended by All, Harvested by All – so please:
- Feel free to harvest a snack (if you need advise what and how to harvest – contact us or ask other community members)
- Feel free to use our real local compost for your own garden – take from the third bin – furthers to the right
- Feel free to use any left over wood from our garden project for your own home or art project – you find the left over wood in the back of the shed between the shed and the cemetery fence

Sunday work Picnic – Equinox celebration! (March 18, 2022)
Happy Spring Leland Street Gardeners!
The Spring Equinox will be here this weekend (March 20, 11:33am EDT) and we will celebrate in our Garden: Our March work-picnic day will be Saturday, March 19 (Sunday, March 20 – raindate) 10.30 am – 3.30pm.
Come for the whole time or any part of it. Bring a lunch or some finger food to share and we’ll sit down and picnic together, celebrating the end of winter and hopefully, the end of so many months of social isolation due to the pandemic.
We will rake off the leaves that were protecting the soil in the annual and perennial beds during the winter to discover some old plant friends starting to emerge. We may even do some planting of cool weather crops like spinach, kale and collards. (Spring greens as well as sugar snap peas and radishes have already been planted in the two raised beds which had been covered with remay and tarps during the winter.)
Those of us who enjoy giving our muscles a work out will move gravel to create a water absorption around our new, nearly finished shed. As well, there is a heap of gravel to be moved from the front beds left by the snow plows.
More info here: https://mailchi.mp/b60d357505bf/gardeners-gathering-program-and-zoom-links-11352510?e=5bfac191cd
We can do this! Thank you for loving the Garden. See you soon 🙂

— Thank you Eve Boltax!
Chloe Mathers (piano) and Jake Kohlhas (guitar) first met in a Jazz Improvisation class at Goucher College in 2007. They immediately bonded over a love for jazz tunes, Bill Withers, hiding in the “rhythm section,” and prioritizing the groove above all else. Over a decade later they are still having fun playing improvised music together whether it’s old faithful jazz standards, r&b/pop tunes, soulful blues numbers, or anything in between. While playing duo can be one of the trickiest formats for jazz, Chloe and Jake operate on a semi-telepathic wavelength that could only come from years of playing and learning together. The result is music filled with twists and turns, bluesy melodies, and of course, groove!
Additionally, Jake composes for and performs with hip-hop/soul group J Pope and the HearNow and jazz/classical quartet Otherworld. (Chloe prefers to split her time between playing and eating cookies Leland Cooperative Garden

This Sun. 4-6pm Music in the Garden! — July 21, 2021
Hello Garden enthusiasts,
We are looking forward to music in the Garden this Sunday and hope you can make it! There are a few more upcoming announcements and a here is the Boston Gardeners Gazette with an interesting note from Vidya, director, regarding mayoral candidates and their ideas about gardens and parks.
LeGOMS welcomes Distant Memories (Leland Garden Outdoor Music Stage)
Sunday 25 June, 4 – 6 pm
Distant Memories is a musical journey through a sonic world where the musical narrative explores memories of people and places. Folksong, arranged through the language of established musical traditions, such as Western classical and jazz, weaves stories of friendship, love, and far away landscapes. Composer and pianist Ara Sarkissian and percussionist Fabio Prozzolo will be joined by the violist Alexander Vavilov – three friends reunited in creating music for the first time after the pandemic. Each of us brings our unique voice, drawing powerfully from the tradition of our respective homelands of Armenia, Italy, and Ukraine to create an experience where original composition, re-arranged folk song and improvised soundscapes coexist. After more than a year of forced separation and profound loss for all of us, this touching tribute to distant friends and lands holds a special place in our hearts.
Suggested donation: $20 – 30. All are welcome — no one turned away for lack of funds! Here to donate in advance.

Hello Garden friends,
We are just like spring…popping up all over the place! We hope you are all hanging in there and look forward to seeing you somewhere along the way! 🙂
Planting Party – Saturday, 10am – ?
We’ll be finding homes for new arrivals, planting some seeds and lots of weeding
All are welcome!
Holly Rowley with River Woman Ministries presents:
Smoke Clearing with herbs from the Leland gardenSunday, May 23, 3 – 4.30pm
Smoke is a potent release of herbal energy which calls all our senses to be present from our primitive safety response to our highest spiritual self. We curious humans have been drying herbs and burning them from the beginning of time. In this experiential learning practice, we will touch, smell, and burn dried herbs to experience the aroma of their smoke.
We will walk around and meet the herbs in the garden. Only the herbs currently growing in the garden will be used for this class. We will also discuss how and why to use this powerful practice and how to dry your own herbs.
Rev. Holly Rowley is the founder and Master practitioner at River Woman Ministries and Beautiful River Reiki & Shamanic Reiki. She is an Interfaith minister, Reiki Master, and Shamanic practitioner who uses herbs to enhance her spiritual work with her clients. She has studied at the Boston School of Herbal studies since 2016. Her office/ healing studio is located in Roslindale Village above the Square Root Café.

Sunday, May 30, 2pm, LeGOMS
We are looking forward to welcoming back the Sheffield Chamber Players, to bring chamber music into the community on Sunday, May 30 at 2pm.Sasha, Alex, and Leo, along with guest artist Zenas will perform The Moment is Supreme, a program that encourages us to explore and absorb each moment as it unfolds. Joel Thompson’s In Response to the Madness and Schubert’s extraordinary string quartet in G Major share an interest—perhaps even an obsession—with how we experience the here and now. Strung together into a fluid whole, each moment transforms the music, and us, from caterpillar into chrysalis and then to butterfly, almost imperceptibly.
No reservation is required, and we can allow up to 150 people. A donation of $25—50 is suggested, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All donations go directly to Sheffield Chamber Players, and can be made online at sheffieldchamberplayers.org/support or by texting SCP to 44-321; and at the door via cash or check.

First concert of the seasonSaturday, April 24, 2pm (rain date Sunday, April 25, 2pm)
Sheffield Chamber Players with guest artists Zenas and Stephanie
The Restlessness of Nostalgia
We feel honored to host the Sheffield Chamber Players to bring chamber music into the community on Saturday, April 24 at 2pm (rain date, Sunday, April 25 at 2pm). Sasha and Leo, along with guest artists Zenas and Stephanie, will perform a very special program, The Restlessness of Nostalgia. With one eye on the rearview and one foot squarely on the accelerator, each piece on this program looks back while blazing forward—growing, striving and innovating. From the wild ride of Gabriella Smith’s Carrot Revolution; to the poignant Lyric by George Walker (the first African American winner of the Pulitzer Prize in music); through the transformative warmth of Haydn’s Sunrise Quartet; and finally sweeping us into the electric swirling of Four Dances for String Quartet, a new work built on a narrative of a Middle Eastern refugee by Syrian American Composer Kareem Roustom. Each piece takes a close look at where we have been, and offers compelling insight into where we are going next
No reservation is required, and we can allow up to 150 people according to Gov. Baker’s latest regulations. A donation of $25—50 is suggested, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All donations go directly to Sheffield Chamber Players, and can be made online at sheffieldchamberplayers.org/support or by texting SCP to 44-321; and at the door via cash or check.

The workshop will be led by Pam Kristan, a long-time forager and avid edible wild walker.
Suggested donation is $39. If this price exceeds your budget, please contact hope@bostonfoodforest.org for a scholarship. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
