Come together, learn, and share
Blackwater Rising hosts events that bring neighbors together to learn, connect, and cultivate something meaningful. From seasonal workshops to community meetups, these gatherings create space to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and celebrate the work growing across our community. While our volunteer opportunities focus on hands-on service, our events are designed to spark conversation, learning, and connection.

Blackwater Rising
Blackwater Rising cultivates a resilient community in Cambridge, MD, by expanding access to fresh food, shared resources, and thriving public spaces. Through community gardening and mutual-aid, we strengthen connections and build self-sufficiency.
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:
