Baltimore City Recreation and Parks’ Horticulture Division runs the program. Membership is open to all Baltimore City residents. Each gardener pays a one-time nonrefundable application fee of $10, signs a City Farms contract, and pays a nominal rental fee, depending upon the location and size of the individual plot- standard 10’ x 15’ plot, or a smaller raised bed of 9’ x 6’. Experienced and novice gardeners, young and old, are welcome. City Farms gardens are fenced and locked, and participants gain access from dawn to dusk with a key. The gardens also have City water April through October, hoses and wheelbarrows. Wood chips and manures are also provided during the growing season. 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. These City Farms plots rent for $30 per year and offer gardening opportunities for over 500 families. Experienced and novice gardeners, young and old, are welcome. Water source on site, plus camaraderie and advice.
