Ash Street Garden is a project of the Baltimore Free Farm. The BFF is a network of community activists in Baltimore, MD whose goal is to promote sustainability through urban agriculture and other progressive projects. Their pilot project is the Ash Street Garden in Hampden. It consists of numerous productive organic vegetable plots on land that was reclaimed, with the cooperation of the Baltimore City government, from vacant lots suffering under urban decay, trash, and crime.
