Baltimore Green Space works to protect community gardens, pocket parks, and other open spaces created and cared for by city residents.
At the request of community groups, Baltimore Green Space acquires community-managed open spaces and provides support to those who care for them. This allows communities to ensure that their urban oases endure without taking on the responsibilities of acquisition, ownership, and liability.
