B-Street Garden
Welcome & B-Street Garden Advisory Group Application NOW OPEN
The B-Street Garden and Conservation Park opened on May, 1 2010!
This community garden is part of a 2.29 acre parcel of land, home to Shank Painter Pond, extensive wetlands and rare wildlife. It is a great place to relax, meet people and grow your own food.
Stay tuned for more details and check back to this web site for more information.
Thank you to the Provincetown Conservation Commission, the B-Street Garden Advisory Group, the gardeners and AmeriCorps Cape Cod for all their hard work in helping make this a wonderful and successful community project.

Spring Volunteer Days At B-Street!
In preparation for the 3rd Opening of the B-Street Garden on May 1st, we would like to invite you all to volunteer with us and AmeriCorps Cape Cod.
Our volunteer days will be on Monday, April 23th from 8am to 3pm. We will possibly be having an extra day on Saturday, April 28th depending on how much we finish. Stay tuned for that.
If you are unsure of where the garden is located, it is about 100 feet on the right off of Browne Street. Please carpool or walk if possible as parking will be very limited.
B-Street Goes Solar!
As the B-Street Garden now has four solar panels which have been installed on the roof of the shed. This kind of energy efficiency converts the sun's rays into renewable energy that charge a battery which runs the water pump!
