Baltimore Green Map

Check out the Baltimore Regional Green Map to find resources, gardens and any location that encourages environmentally sustainability. The Boyd Street Garden is on there, and so far, is the only community garden listed in our area, including Union Square and Hollins-Roundhouse. If anyone knows of other gardens in the area, please add them to the map; it's open-source.

A new season at the Boyd Street community garden

A few regulars have already begun preparing the soil and growing some veggies. Bulbs are starting to bloom, too. And as is the case every year around this time, there is work to be done. Saturday, April 16, 2011 is the Mayor's spring clean-up. Besides other neighborhood cleanup events, we will be hosting a garden work day on the 16th (exact time, TBA). Some of the projects include painting flower boxes, building raised beds, rebuilding brick planters, weeding and more.

And if you are interested in reserving a plot in the garden for yourself, just send an email to sowebogardening [at] gmail [dot ] com.
