A 10 acre land-reclamation project at the intersection of environmental and food justice located at 5105 Plainfield Ave in Frankford.
The BLISS Meadows project is a 10 acre land-reclamation project at the intersection of environmental and food justice located at 5105 Plainfield Ave in Frankford. The entire project weaves together 3 contiguous properties, a 7 acre park, a 2.5 acre parcel with 2 ponds, and a large vacant home, Â through public and private partnerships with land owners.
In 2017, Founder and Executive Director, Atiya Wells, came across the vacant property in her Frankford neighborhood in Northeast Baltimore. She envisioned a space for community dinners, environmental education, nature play spaces, and gardens.
In 2019, that dream became a reality when she received the blessing from the property’s owner. Noticing the vacant house adjacent to the property, she launched a fundraising campaign to purchase it, and met the goal in less than 30 days.
As of 2021, BLISS Meadows is in Phase Two: Development of a 5 Year Phase-In plan which includes renovating the vacant house, expanding production for the community farm, and starting a trail system in the park
