In 1903, there was an initiative in town to broaden educational efforts by engaging school students in maintaining gardens. For the Sewall School, a Mr. Kelly, a local landowner, allowed the use of several of his empty housing lots that were directly across Franklin St. from the school. Each student in grades one through four was given a small plot to manage.
