Edible Watertown

The Watertown Public Arts & Culture Committee launched "Edible Watertown" in 2022, a long-term interdisciplinary project that promotes awareness of our local environment through community engagement and the artistic and scientific exploration of plants local to Watertown. Edible Watertown aims to uplift the importance of local flora and their ecosystems to connect people with the environment right outside their door. The community connections created by this local movement, in response to the global issue of climate change, encourages us all to be better stewards of the environment and increases recognition of the known natural gifts in our community.

The Edible Watertown project is generously supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Watertown Cultural Council and Mass Cultural Council, the Watertown Community Foundation, and the through an Accelerating Climate Resiliency grant from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council.

DISCLAIMER: The Public Arts & Culture Committee and the City of Watertown do not recommend or endorse individuals eating the plants referred to in this project without consulting an expert.
