Druid Hill Park City Farms Garden
![Community Garden: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

![Organic/Local Food: Food grown close to where it is consumed, reducing shipping impacts and increasing freshness. Organic food is grown without pesticides (biocides), genetic modification or synthetic fertilizers. Minimally processed, with no chemicals or waxes added after harvesting. May include fair trade or direct trade practices. Organic/Local Food](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_3.gif)
Overview
The City Farms Program, operated by the Horticulture Division of the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks, began in 1978 with gardens at Clifton Park and DeWees Park. It has grown to an organization of eight gardens. Another six gardens are located in Carroll Park, Druid Hill Park, Leakin Park, Patterson Park, Roosevelt Park and Cimiglia Park at Fort Holabird. More garden space is planned at Heath and Charles Streets in South Baltimore and at Rock Rose Park near TV Hill. These City Farms plots rent for $30 per year and offer gardening opportunities for over 500 families.
