Once an abandoned baseball diamond in the heart of Baltimore, Prado is now a thriving agricultural community learning Centre and garden created and maintained by the mid-Atlantic region of Whole Foods Market.Mark "Coach" Smallwood, predator local Whole Foods Market for this area, first discovered the site overlooked in 2009, while walking their dogs around the neighborhood. After almost a year of negotiation with the city of Baltimore, he was granted access to open paths to crop production.

Located almost equidistant between our shops Jordan and Inner Harbor, Whole Foods Market team Members are committed to maintaining the jardim.com help from our team members and a network of volunteers from the neighborhood, the space is regularly capinado, abeberado and harvested. Community plots are available, however, most products harvested weekly is donated to the local food bank.

"If you don't know how to grow, it is a great place to learn," says the coach."If you know how to grow, it is a great place to teach".
