Pocket Gardens

Peter Babcox has worked and continues to work with several groups, including Remington youth and adults, local non-profit organizations, and Johns Hopkins students (among others) to create the blue pocket gardens that dot the landscape of the neighborhood. Bulbs are planted in the boxes during the fall and winter, and then when spring comes, the neighborhood blooms!
