Duncan Street Miracle Garden Is Spruced Up and Ready for a New Season
On November 5, the Baltimore Port Alliance (BPA) Environmental Committee united forces with the New Broadway East Community Association and community volunteers to clean out the raised vegetable beds of the Duncan Street Miracle Garden.
Volunteers included current and former staff from the Maryland Port Administration, Vane Brothers,
C. Steinweg Group, EcoLogix Group and Baltimore Development Corporation. Baltimore City Councilman Antonio Glover also joined the effort.
Nestled in the middle of the 1800 block of Duncan Street in East Baltimore, the Duncan Street Miracle Garden is a focal point for the community and is used by gardeners from various Baltimore neighborhoods. The food produced there is often donated to churches and soup kitchens. Also, picnic tables, painted birdhouses and colorful flowers make this garden a beautiful
place for relaxation, recreation, work and community gatherings.
Above: After only two hours of love and attention, the half-acre food garden, covering the 1800 block
of Duncan Street, turned into a fresh oasis, ready for a new season of a vast variety of delicious fruits and vegetables.
