The David Mugar Way Garden Construction Is Underway!
Construction began the week of October 5th—a milestone years in the making for The Friends of David Mugar Way and everyone who believes in a greener, more welcoming gateway into the historic Back Bay and Beacon Hill!

The Amelanchier trees are now in the ground…
Urban infill is removed and replaced with nutrient-rich soil
… and the perennials too!
Thank You for Making This Moment Possible!
This milestone belongs to all of you. To our donors, neighbors, public partners, volunteers, advocates, and friends: thank you. Your generosity, persistence, and belief in this project carried the Gateway Garden from an idea to active construction.
What Happens Next
Construction will continue with the installation of stone near the Beacon Street crosswalk, spreading of mulch, and the planting of hundreds of bulbs for spring bloom. We’ll share new photos and behind-the-scenes updates as the work advances.
