BUGS Greenhouse

This greenhouse is maintained by middle school students from Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students. In the greenhouse, you will see fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers growing. All of the produce grown is given to BUGS students, community members, and staff, or is sold at the annual BUGS Youth Farmer's Market. This greenhouse is a valuable tool in providing fresh, healthy food to Baltimore City youth.

Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) is an outdoor environmental education program that focuses on the urban environment. Students at The Crossroads School learn about gardening, urban ecology, the watershed, environmental and social justice issues, sustainability, and cooking and nutrition through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) style learning. BUGS complements the school day and gives students the opportunity to develop and apply new knowledge and skills to real-world situations relating to the environment around them through hands-on activities and project-based learning.
