This garden will be larger than that of first lady Obama whose garden spans 1,100.

This is pivotal for Baltimore because the city has a demographic of 64.6 percent of the population being African Americans this will expose more minorities to gardening and the green movement. There is a lack of diversity in the green movement and this could increase minority participation. A vegetable garden could certainly add to the charm of charm city. Kerrie Burch DeLuca , director of communications for the soup kitchens, says "Nothing will go begging. This is our happy day." It appears the rest of Baltimore will be agreeing with here soon enough.
