Did you forget to make weekend plans again? 👀 😳

Don't worry, the EDC has your back. Join us for two exciting events coming up in the next few days!

On September 29th, 3 pm join us for a tour of Baltimore's vibrant urban farming scene. Meet some of the city's community farmers and learn how they are paving the way for a more sustainable and equitable food future!

Then come back for more on October 2nd, 6 pm for a book talk with Eli Nixon and Vital Matters. Celebrate the queer potentialities of nature and learn about the indomitable fortitude of the horseshoe crab.

Read more about the events below!

Tour some of Baltimore's most innovative urban farms: an EDC Grounding with Liz Lamb, Robin Gunkel, and Carissa Aoki.

Interested in urban agriculture and its role in Baltimore communities? Join us for a tour of the community farms in Broadway East, Oliver, and Johnston Square. These farms are managed by The 6^th Branch, a non-profit organization originally founded by military veterans. Unlike city farms where gardeners rent separate plots, these farms were all initiated with input from their communities, and neighbors are welcome to come harvest food at any time. Weekly farm stand offerings are likewise free to the neighborhoods.

Check out the EDC's 2024-2025 itinerary, Reimagining Land, for more on our Baltimore-based programming, including these monthly Grounding events. You can also share your own events there too!

Eli Nixon presents their new book! Get your copy and RSVP for Nixon's Book Talk on October 2nd.

Join the Ecological Design Collective and Vital Matters for an online conversation with artist, designer, and activist Eli Nixon about their new book, Bloodtide: A New Holiday in Homage to Horseshoe Crabs. Nixon’s new book is an illustrated proposal and manual for activation (and complication!) of a new holiday in homage to horseshoe crabs, with accompanying field notes to help navigate the quagmires and vistas of primordial futurizing through reparative returns, habitat restoration, cardboard transformation, time encapsulation, feasting, impossible dancing, parading and much more.
