CGRN Takes To Dishing Up Maryland

For the second year, Storey Publishing is partnering with the Community Greening Resource Network (CGRN) to support Baltimore’s community gardens and gardeners. Storey is donating copies of "Dishing Up Maryland" by local writer Lucie L. Snodgrass with photographs by Edwin Remsberg, to participants at one of CGRN's upcoming meetings. Storey will also donate other titles including "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens" and "Storey's Guide to Keeping Honey Bees".

CGRN's network of urban gardeners is part of a larger plan to increase fresh food production for use by residents and businesses in Baltimore.

"Dishing Up Maryland" includes a wide range of local recipes and features profiles of local farmers and entrepreneurs including John Shields of Gertrude's, One Straw Farm, Gunpowder Bison and more.
