The project was made possible by The Baltimore City Growing Green Design Competition: Vacant Lots Transformed that was launched in conjunction with the Mayor’s Growing Green Initiative in May, 2014 to showcase innovative concepts for retrofitting vacant lots in Baltimore City and turning community challenges into community resources.
Goals of the competition were to foster partnerships between community groups, design firms, non-profits, and private organizations, test the Green Pattern Book, and reduce and treat stormwater.
