Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS)

This unique program works with children in Baltimore City communities over the course of the year in an after-school program and a summer program. The BUGS program is more than just gardening! It incorporates cooking, creative arts, movement, and entrepreneurial activities to encourage students to succeed. The produce that the students grow also gets to have an exciting life after it is picked! Earlier this year, several food trucks in Baltimore committed to using produce grown in the garden. The students also participate in farmer’s markets to practice entrepreneurial skills and raise additional funds for the program at the same time.

Interested in helping out or potentially enrolling your child? The program is headquartered at Living Classrooms East Harbor Campus. To support BUGS, you can attend the BUGS farmer’s market this summer.
