Finally! Easily Accessible Water for B-more Community Gardens

       The CCYD Building Trades Program has joined forces with Baltimore Green Space, the Parks and People Foundation and The Baltimore Office of Sustainability to provide easily accessible water to Baltimore   Community gardens and Farms in an irrigation installation pilot project. The pilot could fund as many as 8 gardens/farms with ground hydrants!
       We've broken ground at both the Uppers Fells Point Improvement Association and the Homestead Harvest Community Gardens. We're just waiting on the arrival of the hydrants to finish off the installations. If your community garden is in need of water and you haven't applied for the pilot project contact the Parks and People Foundation (410)-448-5663 and ask for Valerie Rupp for more information.

A buried length of PVC pipe meant to be used as a conduit for flexible copper pipe helped us bridge the gap in between when the garden stewards needed the sidewalk installed and when our plumber could show up.
