“Baybrook:
Filbert Street Community Garden” is a community collaboration to help raise
money and awareness of the garden to provide the community support for the
garden to remain open and allow for the community as well as students from the
nearby school to have opportunity have an outdoor classroom, experience growing
vegetables and have a small place to explore nature within their own community.
All
profits will be donated to the sustainability of the Filbert Street Community
Garden.
To
help Filbert Street Community Garden to be self-staining and remain open for
the community of the Curtis Bay our project must include various fundraising. I feel as though one of the challenges of the
fundraising is including the community with the fundraising. Providing opportunity
for the community to participate in the raising of funds for their community
garden will continue to provide ownership opportunities for the community. As I
visited the Filbert Street Garden I truly realized how much money was going to
be needed to provide staffing to allow the garden to be unlocked and open for
community use. I visited the garden on a
Saturday, February 1st the garden was locked and not accessible to
the community. There is a middle school in walking distance of the garden this
could provide us a community foundation that could provide support and provide continuous
collaboration for the garden. Having the middle school students design the T-shirt
could be away to involve the community. I envision my contribution to this project
by helping wherever needed. I could bring my background of early childhood
education to collaborate with the neighborhood school to create programs and
outdoors curriculum lessons that could increase use of the garden to continue
to educate the students and provide a true ownership of the garden with the community.
