Urban Agriculture

    Welcome to the webpage of the University of Maryland Extension Urban Agriculture Program. 

    Most of the resources on this website are designed with urban farmers and urban agriculture entrepreneurs in mind. The links in the yellow bar above will help you find upcoming classes and online educational resources. 

    Home gardening and community gardening are also important parts of urban agriculture. If you grow for yourself rather than for sale, we highly recommend our Home and Garden Information Center as an educational resource.
