Commonwealth Avenue Mall.</p> <p>A membership organization open to all, the Friends was founded in 1970 by concerned citizens. Working closely with the Boston Parks Department, we support ongoing improvements to the parks. We have funded the expert care of trees and plantings and the maintenance and restoration of sculptures and fountains. We continue to work as staunch advocates to protect the parks from misuse and encroachment.</p> <p>Learn more about:<br /> <a href="http://friendsofthepublicgarden.org/advocacy/">Advocacy</a><br /> <a
