Growing a Healthier Community Through M-NCPPC Shared Gardens

COMMUNITY gardening Community Gardens

Community gardens, which are shared plots of land where individuals or groups of people gather to grow fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs, are spreading across the nation in urban and suburban areas. If you’ve ever been a part of one, you’ll know why. The enrichment that comes from connecting people to a common good, along with time in nature and growing nutritious food, helps to build a stronger sense of community – an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and needs to interact with each other and learn from one another. M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County is aware of the value these shared gardens have in the community and has made it its mission to provide them to people of all ages and abilities. Continue reading to learn more about our garden plots in the County.

Where Communities and Food Come Together.

Community gardens are located on land that is divided into different plots for individual and family use. Generally, gardeners prepare, plant, and harvest from their own plots. The Department has four community gardens sites (with a total of 132 individual plots) with water connections available for rental. The plots range in size from 10’x20’ to 25’x30’ and range in price from $30 to $55 per plot. Current sites include: CHERRY HILL (no water provided) 9301 Cherry Hill Rd., College Park 20740 OLD LANDOVER HILLS 6424 Old Landover Rd., Landover 20785 PRINCE GEORGE’S SPORTS & LEARNING COMPLEX 8001 Sheriff Rd., Landover 20785 WALKER MILL 8000 Walker Mill Rd., Capitol Heights 20743

Would you like to be a part of an M-NCPPC community garden? Reserve one today! The growing season takes place from March 1 through December 1. Rentals are available online or in person at the Parks Permits Office. For details, visit pgparks.com and type in “Community Garden Plots” in the search box.

Youth Gardens

Planting a seed that will last a lifetime. The Department of Parks and Recreation has seven youth gardens at community centers throughout the County. These gardens are used to teach kids how to plant, grow, and harvest their own vegetables. The gardens also contain pollinator plants that are used to teach kids the importance of pollinators and their role in the food chain. Gardening programs, which are taught weekly by Park Rangers and community center staff, include lessons about the plant cycle, plant maintenance and care, nutrition, and healthy eating. Youth gardens sites range from four to eight beds and beds are typically 4’x12’. Current locations include: GLENN DALE COMMUNITY CENTER 11901 Glenn Dale Blvd. (Route 193), Glenn Dale 20769 HILLCREST HEIGHTS COMMUNITY CENTER 2300 Oxon Run Dr., Temple Hills 20748 HUNTINGTON COMMUNITY CENTER 13022 8th St., Bowie 20720 LANGLEY PARK COMMUNITY CENTER 1500 Merrimac Dr., Hyattsville 20783 SOUTH BOWIE COMMUNITY CENTER 1717 Pittsfield Ln., Bowie 20716 SUITLAND COMMUNITY CENTER 5600 Regency Ln., Forestville 20747 VANSVILLE COMMUNITY CENTER 6813 Ammendale Rd., Beltsville 20705

In the fall and spring months, Kids’ Care programs utilize the gardens to grow beets, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, carrots, collards, lettuce, kale, radishes, spinach, and Swiss chard.

Multi-generational Garden John E. Howard Senior Activity Center in Capitol Heights is a home to a garden that is used by community members of all ages. The five garden beds were constructed twice as tall as normal raised beds so that they could be more easily accessible to persons with disabilities and in wheelchairs. Those interested in using the multi-generational garden can call center staff at 301-735-2400.

Pollinator Meadows Pollinator meadows are large pollinator habitats that feature a variety of native wildflowers and grasses. These meadows provide food and shelter for beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife. The Department is in the process of converting 15 acres of land into pollinator specific habitat this year. Below are the sites and acreage being seeded with a Xerces MidAtlantic pollinator mix to be converted into pollinator meadows. .

Community gardens provide numerous benefits to families and communities, including: Fresh and nutritious food. Community gardens provide fresh, high-quality, affordable herbs, fruits, and vegetables for families and for communities that lack grocery stores.

Healthy lifestyles. Gardening helps relieves stress, exposes people to fresh air, and enables people to get active while improving overall physical health.

RIVERVIEW PROPERTY (Fort Washington) – 5 acres

Environment.

PATUXENT RIVER PARK AT NOTTINGHAM RD. (Upper Marlboro) – 2.5 acres

Plants from gardens add oxygen to the air, help reduce air pollution, and contribute to biodiversity of species.

PATUXENT RIVER PARK AT DUVAL RD. (Upper Marlboro) – 1 acre WATKINS REGIONAL PARK (Upper Marlboro) – 2 acres PLEASANT HILLS (Upper Marlboro) – 5 acres

In the summer months, summer camp participants are out growing beans, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, peppers, pumpkins, squash, sunflowers, tomatoes, and watermelons.

Want to attract pollinators to your garden? Here are a few tips:

Using the fresh produce grown in the gardens, kids are able to take part in cooking demonstrations that teach them how to make recipes such as smoothies, kale chips, and cooked greens.

• AVOID PLANTING NON-NATIVE, INVASIVE PLANTS.

• PLANT NATIVE PLANTS. They are adapted to local conditions and pollinators benefit more from these food sources.

• AVOID USING PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES.

Safer communities. Gardens help reduce crime and build a stronger sense of community.

Educating the public. Gardens expose people to new cultures, enable kids to learn about where food comes from, and provide an opportunity for people to share knowledge related to gardening, cooking, nutrition, and health.

ashington, Baltimore & Annapolis (WB&A) Railroad began operating in February 1908. At the time, it was a state-of-theart interurban rail line with electric trains traveling as fast as 70 miles per hour. Stops along the trail were located at Bowie, Lloyd, Highbridge, Hillmeade, Bell, Randle (Glenn Dale Hospital), Lincoln, Buena Vista, and Cherry Grove. Despite the fact that the railroad was rarely profitable, service was excellent. It was fast and on time. In 1909, a Washington to Baltimore round trip ticket cost $1.25 and travel took only 65 minutes oneway. Ridership peaked in 1918 during World War I, when the railroad had 33 scheduled trips from Washington to Baltimore, carrying 5.9 million riders a year. The Great Depression took its toll, however, and the WB&A ceased service in August 1935. The tracks were removed shortly thereafter.

Darnall’s Chance was built in 1742 for a wealthy Scottish merchant and entrepreneur named James Wardrop. The house, a 15-room Georgian mansion, was the mainstay of a dwelling complex that included eight brick outbuildings, a rare underground brick burial vault, ornamental & vegetable gardens, an orchard, and livestock. Following Wardrop’s death in 1760, his widow Lettice Lee married medical pioneer Dr. Adam Thomson and later Revolutionary War patriot Col. Joseph Sim. Museum tours highlight the similarities and differences between Lettice Lee and the lives of other 18th century women gentry, middling, and enslaved. Museum exhibits and gift shop on premises.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 30 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions. Need help? Email the Customer Service Help Desk at CustomerService@pgparks.com.

This is not your ordinary hip-hop dance class. Learn choreography from popular music videos and make up your own all while getting fit.

This total body, high intensity style program utilizes free weights, resistance, and body weight in a masterful combination to help you achieve optimal health results. Gain the self-confidence and awareness to be your best self.

Come learn to jump, climb, balance, vault over objects, and play a few cool games with the Park Rangers and their mobile obstacle kit. Parkour is the practice of overcoming obstacles in an efficient manner with various movements that conserve your momentum and keep you flowing between obstacles. Come get a chance to learn Parkour in a friendly environment with a skilled instructor and meet people interested in training in the art just like you! All skill levels are welcome and all of the challenges presented in this program are scalable to your skill and comfort level, but expect one heck of a workout and to have fun doing it!

♥♥ Tai Chi: Seniors Increase your inner peace! Non-competitive, self-paced, and relaxing, Tai Chi is an ancient art of exercise for balance, stretching, muscle tone, and flexibility. In this “mind-body practice”, as described by Harvard Health, we gain focus, move gently, usually in a small circular fashion, while breathing deeply. Tai Chi is adaptable to those with joint, muscle, and back problems. Glenarden Community Center

NOW IN 3D! EXPLORE PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY ONLINE

Introducing Three New Web Mapping Applications!

As spring blossoms and temperatures warm, residents are ready to venture out to explore new scenes, enhance the exteriors of their properties, and perhaps move to new residences. The Prince George’s County Planning Department of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) recently launched three new interactive maps that will assist with outdoor planning needs. The Department’s extensive geographic information system gives residents and businesses indepth and instant access to current and historical information related to properties, communities, and commercial areas throughout the County—at no cost to the user!

3D BUILDING EXPLORER

This latest tool displays the first-ever 3D representation of all the buildings located within Prince George’s County. With the 3D Building Explorer application, users can now adjust the view angle; display the height of a building, land use, and roof type; and can even alter the building shadow to reflect the time of day.

PROPERTY COMPARISON

Accessing historic-property-related information just got simpler. The Property Comparison website gives users the ability to review and compare historic tax records and related property boundaries—all within one application. For the first time, users will be able to review the property details and ownership information from 2001, 2007, 2012, and today.

SENIOR HOUSING VIEWER

With residents aged 60 and over in mind, the Senior Housing Communities application is designed to assist aging relatives, families, and organizations with identifying and planning for future living options and health resources. By displaying the aerial imagery, users will be able to find municipalities, public transit stops, parks, and public amenities close to the 59 senior living facilities throughout the County.

Curated by Erin Devine, Assoc. Professor of Art History, Northern Virginia Community College, this exhibition presents the investigations of a group of contemporary artists as they explore the impact of mass incarceration on prisoners, families, and communities in the U.S, which holds the highest incarceration rate in the world. The exhibit also seeks to provide a space for broader meanings of “incarcerations” that are global, racial, and gendered, with works that engage community action, spatial concepts, and history.
