Cherry Heights Woodland Garden

A Cultural Landscape Analysis

Cherry Heights Woodland Garden is a small NeighborSpace park in Overlea, so named for the former African-American community of Cherry Heights whose boundary runs diagonally through the property. Baltimore City and County have a long history of redlining and housing segregation. Thanks to a BTU partnership, Towson University Professor Dr. Sya Buryn Kedzior and her students were able to research the history of the neighborhood for NeighborSpace. The final draft and appendices are linked below.
