We did cyanotype art yesterday with the kids at New Beginnings Learning Academy.

The kids were amazed and delighted by the magic and artistry they were able to achieve!

Mace's Lane Gardening Club Update!

We've had a busy few weeks at the Mace's Lane Middle School garden.

Mayor Cephas joined the kids, parents, staff, and Blackwater Rising volunteers at the Gardening Club's end-of-school party.

The Gardening Club began harvesting for distribution through Midshore Meals Til Monday, wth 17 bags of lettuce contributed a couple weeks ago.

We have 9 raised beds under cultivation, along with a small grove of fig trees, pollinator plants, a grape arbor, and a raspberry patch.

If you want to help tend this amazing garden over the summer please fill-out our volunteer interest form to join the fun:

Garden Party!

Please join us at Mace's Lane Middle School to see what we've been growing there with the school's Gardening Club. (Spoiler Alert: grapes!)

This is a great opportunity to visit one of Blackwater Rising's hidden gems and maybe sign-up to volunteer over the summer.
