Mushroom Appreciation Day @ Filbert St. 7/20 3pm

 

Fungi (mushrooms) play a huge role in keeping our garden healthy, even if we don't always give them the credit they deserve. Come out to Filbert St. and show some mushroom love!
Bring a mushroom dish to share and help us grow more mushrooms!

We'll be doing some maintenance on our shiitake logs, and starting oyster mushrooms in plastic buckets. Guests will have the chance to build their own mini-mushroom farm.

 

$5 to attend, $15 to build and take home a mushroom bucket.

High School Students debut "TriVeggie" Food Cart

        

TriVeggie is South Baltimore's first bike-powered food cart, and it was designed and built by students from Benjamin Franklin High School in Brooklyn/Curtis Bay. The project began as a discussion about the history of food carts in baltimore. We viewed the film "We Are Arabbers, and spoke with local experts Eric Jackson (Baltimarket) and Megan Driscoll (Habitat for Humanity)

The Velocipede Bike Project donated an industrial tricycle, and by the end of the semester, students were processing vegetables grown at Filbert St. Garden, packaging them into single serving sizes, and selling them. In our first week of business we have sold $200 worth of produce!

Come visit TriVeggie at Ben Franklin High School at 11:30 on Fridays, CBEMS at 2:30 on Fridays, and at the corner of Church St. and Anabel on Saturdays (Hours TBA)

Grand Opening Fundraiser!!

Holy Moly, after 3 years of growing, learning, and re-growing, the Filbert St. Garden is showing off a little.

Come out to the Garden on May 18th, from 2-6 pm. Help us pay our water bill and work with students and neighbors to grow more food! There will be garden tours, docented by students who helped design and plant the garden

We are going to munch on biscuits made by the amazing Blacksauce Kitchen, who are neighbors of ours in Curtis Bay. 
There will be live music by Blue Valley Farmer and by Paper Daughter, 2 local groups with fantastic talent and generous hearts.
Thanks also to the kindness of Aliceanna Winery, Infused Spreads, Bambeco, Charm City Yoga and other local businesses, we're going to have a silent auction.


Students from Ben Franklin High School will be debuting the TRIVEGGIE, their service learning project with Filbert St. Garden. The Triveggie food-cycle is a response from Curtis Bay/Brooklyn students to their neighborhood's lack of fresh food, inspired by Baltimore's rich history of food carts.
