Druid Hill Park Farmers Market

Baltimore's Druid Hill Park is the perfect place for a farmers market, and now there is an effort underway to open one there.

With the lake, the bike and walking trails, the pool and the conservatory, the park is a natural gathering place for city residents, and another excellent venue to emphasize the value of eating locally grown fruits and vegetables.

The Friends of Druid Hill Park and the city's Department of Recreation and Parks will hold a meeting tonight at 5:30 at the Rec and Parks building next to the swimming pool in the park.

The group meets every Wednesday at that time as it prepares for the first market day, Wednesday, June 1, from 4 to 7 p.m.

If you are interested in helping this effort, why not show up for a meeting?
