Baltimore Grows

With the economy the way it is, urban “container gardening” has really taken off, especially for those that want to save a few bucks by growing their own herbs, peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, etc.

Fortunately, with the opening of a couple of new shops, those of us near downtown Baltimore won’t have go very far to get the necessary tools. 

“Baltimore Contained” (2400 Fleet Street) at the corner of Montford and Fleet Street in Canton recently opened in the former Dangerously Delicious Pie Shop (Dangerously Delicious has since moved to Federal Hill).  Instead of pies, the racks are now filled with flowers, herbs, pots, and other gardening tools.

Also recently opened is the second location of “The Dutch Connection”  http://www.thedutchconnection.us  in the Bagby Building in Harbor East (1008 Fleet St).  Their original location is in Belvedere Square.  While the Dutch Connection focuses more on cut flower arrangements, they also have a significant amount of plants and small shrubs perfect for an urban garden.
