Cambridge in Bloom

Operating out of the Department of Public Works’ Parks and Urban Forestry Division, Cambridge in Bloom is a public-private partnership program dedicated to enhancing local green spaces through improved stewardship of our parks.

The City has made considerable investments in the development of parks, landscaping, tree planting, and maintenance in recent years. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to increasing the quality and health of our city. Our horticultural investment in the city is a reflection of our commitment to a healthy urban environment. We are enthusiastic about improving our environmental responsibility and the quality of urban life in the city of Cambridge.

We are proud of our national recognition as a Tree City USA and consider the ongoing process of tree care management an integral part of city life in Cambridge. The trees we plant and care for today will beautify our neighborhoods, businesses, and parks, increase property values, and conserve energy in the city for years to come.
