Join us at the 
Black Butterfly Teaching Farm
 for a workshop all about soil health! Healthy soils play a critical role in the success of any farm or garden, cycling nutrients through the ecosystem, increasing water infiltration, and reducing erosion, runoff, and sedimentation.
This workshop will cover fundamental soil health principles, with a focus on soil health as it relates to your growing operation.
 You will learn practical ways to incorporate soil health practices into the management of your vegetable garden or urban farm, and then get a chance to dig (literally) further into the topic with a hands-on training with the 
Maryland Soil Health Card
, a soil health assessment tool. Come ready to roll up your sleeves!

The Inner Harbor is the center of Baltimore and the most prosperous place. It is called the Inner Harbor because it is located in the city. It was once a major port for exporting goods, mainly sugar and iron. There are aquariums, museums, bookstores, etc. Water taxis are responsible for transportation, and there are acrobatic performances on weekends. Of course, there are also many delicious foods. It is also the birthplace of the American national anthem.
