Towson University Urban Farm


    I'm pulling double blogging duty now! A few posts back I mentioned that I am a member of the urban farm/community garden at my University. The experience has been incredibly rewarding so far and has increased my agricultural knowledge.While my own seedlings continue to grow in the University greenhouse the seedlings for the Urban Farm are growing only a few feet away. Soon, my seedlings will go into the ground of my front yard (hopefully this weekend) and the community garden seedlings will live out the rest of their ephemeral lives soaking up water and sunshine on the campus farm.

     In an effort to promote the latest events taking place in the Towson University Urban Farm a blog was created during last year's growing season and I have just posted my first blog entry. Check it out here: Towson University Urban Farm. Read all about our new Rainwater Catchment System (pictured above) that was recently constructed by a crew of very enthusiastic urban farmers (including myself: pictured on the right). We at the Farm hope to continue our mission of growing healthy food for the community in a sustainable way.

Take care of yourself and each other!
