Here is their Mission Statement: "Earthworks is a community-based non-profit organization planting a healthier and more sustainable Boston. Our mission is to strengthen communities through direct service to the environment through the planting and care of urban orchards, urban wilds, community trees, and hands on education programs for all ages." Maybe you can pass it on? I just read in one of my gardening magazines about a group called Earthworks. http://earthworksboston.org/home

Another way to partially satisfy your gardening jones is joining one of the town CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture). You get a share of the harvest, do some of the picking, and in some cases some of the other farm work. Plus, you help keep farms viable in Framingham. Both Stearns Farm and Hanson's Farm offer CSA programs. Community gardens would be a great thing for the town’s residents.
