Johnston Square Vision Plan,
Green Spring Valley Garden Club collaborating with Johnston Square/ReBuild Metro
Green Spring Valley Garden Club proposed working with Johnston Square/ReBuild Metro, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the history and prosperity of neighborhoods by rebuilding homes helping to foster enduring community relationships with a focus on divested communities of East Baltimore. The Green Spring Valley Garden Club will collaborate with local groups to rebuild 6 vacant lots/pocket parks transforming them into active green space in the Johnston Square. All 6 parks are a few blocks from the Johnston Square Elementary School. Students from the school will be actively engaged in this project. In addition to collaborating with the community organizations to rebuild these parks, the GSVG will work with Regina Hammond, Founder and Executive Director of the Rebuild Johnston Square Neighborhood Organization to help establish a community garden club named Beautification Garden Club.
