2010 Spring Clean-Up









On April 17th, Unity Urban Garden officially opened for the season in conjunction with the Baltimore City Mayor's Spring Clean Up. 10 Volunteers and community members joined in to plant a variety of plant's donated by Shari's co-worker (see previous posting for list). The plethora of hostas donated beautifully finish the border area on Schley Ave. We proudly affixed our sign from University of Maryland Cooperative Extension, officially recognizing UUG as a Master Gardener site. Thanks to Shari' and Shelowann for completing the Master Gardener program and continuing to use their knowledge and resources to grow the garden. We had a productive day of weeding (yea!), mulching and planting. One of our new young volunteers, along with her mom w harvested some chives and mint planted last season. During the next few garden days we look forward to planting new crops, erecting official UUG signs, rain barrels and completing the fence on Schley. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out on the 17th!
