Baltimore Office Cleans Mothers Garden
For the third year, the Baltimore, Md., office celebrated Earth Day by teaming up with the City of Baltimore’s Recreation and Parks to help clean up Mothers Garden. Located at the edge of Clifton Park, and once a private estate for Johns Hopkins, Mothers Garden was originally dedicated to “The Mothers of Baltimore” in 1926. It was further dedicated in the 1980s to Tululu Schaefer, mother of William Donald Schaefer, a local political icon who served as Maryland’s Governor and is now Comptroller.
Gannett Fleming volunteers gathered to work side-by-side with the City staff and residents from surrounding neighborhoods to pull weeds, plant trees and perennials, and put down mulch. Amanda Cunningham (the Baltimore office’s proposal manager) formed an on-site workshop to teach tree pruning for a group of City residents who were taking a series of classes through Recreation and Parks for urban tree steward certification.
