Green City Growers is a Somerville urban-agriculture company that designs, installs, maintains, and activates food-producing gardens and farms. Its website says it was established in 2008, has grown to more than 200 garden sites around greater Boston, and serves commercial properties, schools, public institutions, senior living, and multifamily buildings. Christopher Grallert became president and co-owner in 2020, and the company says employees became partial owners through an ESOP launched in 2021.
The work described publicly is broader than routine residential landscaping: raised beds, in-ground and rooftop farms, indoor growing systems, greenhouses, organic produce, educational programming, and adult wellness events. Procore categorizes the business as a landscaping consultant, specialty contractor, and supplier and shows two projects.
Customer comments are mixed and limited. A 2025 Google reviewer who worked with the company as a vendor praised its professionalism, collaboration, products, and team. Another 2025 reviewer enjoyed a headquarters tour and described the staff as knowledgeable and accommodating. Older Google comments include brief praise for the crew and the sustainability idea, but a 2023 reviewer alleged that management was unprofessional and disrespectful, while a 2022 reviewer said there was not much information for homeowners.
Green City Growers looks best suited to organizations, property owners, schools, and communities seeking managed urban-farming or garden programming rather than a conventional lawn-maintenance contractor. Before booking, confirm whether the project is commercial, educational, or residential, what ongoing maintenance and engagement are included, and who will own day-to-day responsibilities after installation.
