Fred Nastvogel said...: I was pleasantly struck by how your story gently put aside the them-we temptation... I do a class at Poly around the theme, What are the things and places and systems we can design to improve Baltimore? The R-Forge exercise fits. Might one or some of you want to spend a day telling your story to 300 youth mostly from row house neighborhoods? Fred Nastvogel.; July 24, 2009 at 2:14 PM

We would be interested in talking about our project to young people in your classes. Please email me at theforgefarm@comcast.net to discuss!

project every block

How many vegetable gardens are there in Rodgers Forge? Herb gardens? Fruit Trees? Nut Trees? How many compost piles do we have here? Or what about worm bins?

The first project of the Farm Initiative is Project Every Block which will document every garden in the Forge. Do we already have a garden on every block? Maybe we do. If so, we'd like to know. If we do not, then we'll promote that as our first project--to establish a vegetable garden on every block of the Forge!

If you have a garden, a fruit or nut tree, a compost pile or worm bin, please contact us at theforgefarmgmail.com with your details and we will update the map. Please attach any photos you may have. The more detail the better.
