Miracle Garden on Duncan St.in the Harris Creek Watershed

On Saturday,the Miracle Garden on Duncan St Celebrated 20 years in operation. How do you like that for Sustainability? Lewis Sharpe is not only the Master Gardiner there,but he is also the Gourmat Chef. He prepared for us a sumptuous meal prepared from the Harvest. Noah and Jade,the children of Anita Stewart-Hammerer acted as the Tour Guides. Congratulations Duncan St. Many more years to you all.
Where this makes sense is to connect these green gardens,much like Olmstead did in the early 1900s when he talked about an enveloping green necklace surrounding the City and penetrating it. It provided outdoor activities,both fun and recreational. In Watershed 246,we hope to do the same. It has been said that you can create real community with Horticulture and Gathering Spaces where conversation,learning and spirituality can take place. Thus,the Harris Creek Watershed Project is more than a Stormwater Project. Think of it as a way to bring back Viable Neighborhoods that form the Backbone of a Healthy Baltimore. We are trying.....
