BULK COMPOST

If you need top quality compost for your garden or houseplants, come down to Spontaneous Celebrations with some buckets or boxes and fill up on bulk Vermont Compost products (while supplies last).  The 'sling-bags of compost are located in their lot at 44 Danforth St., Jamaica Plain, across from their building.  You'll find product & payment info on site, or click here to see the same info.  

This project is brought to you by Agricultural Hall, The Trustees, Spontaneous Celebrations, and The SW Corridor Park Conservancy.


Spring is Here! 

Despite our wonderfully 'normal' winter, 2025 was the 2nd or 3rd warmest on record.  Average global temperatures are flirting with or have surpassed 1.5° C (2.7° F) above pre-industrial levels.  How do we stop the burn?

Agricultural Hall?

In 1818, the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture built the original Agricultural Hall on Dighton Street in Brighton.  It served as the hub of the Brighton Fair and Cattle Show, one of the earliest and largest such fairs in the country.  In 1829, "a 17-pound turnip, a 19-pound radish, and a bough on which pears hung like a cluster of grapes were among the outstanding exhibits of that year."  In 1844 the building was moved to its present location at the corner of Chestnut Hill Avenue and Washington Street.
