Overview
The Amazing Port Street Project, a sacred space created behind Amazing Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, includes a labyrinth, perennial flower and vegetable gardens, mosaics and colorful murals. Created by this multicultural urban Lutheran congregation in East Baltimore in collaboration with the McElderry Park Community, it was originally an area of abandoned and dilapidated houses. Now it also raises perennial plants for donation to other community gardens through a Civic Works program.
