Indie-pendent businesses: Baltimore Contained
Feeling a bit of spring fever lately? Cure it with a visit to a bright little garden spot, right in the middle of Canton.Anne Fleshman opened Baltimore Contained last fall, hoping to make Southeast Baltimore a little greener and more colorful with her gardening expertise. Her small business was created to address the unique needs of the urban gardener. The inspiration, personal touch and great service this shop offers is worth a visit this spring!
If you bring in a container, Anne can design an arrangement in store for you to take home. You can pot up and plant in the store, so there is less mess at home! She'll coach a novice gardener or inspire the seasoned green thumb to successful container gardening.
Anne is offering workshops with hands on flower and herb containers for long lasting displays. She specializes in organic gardening and can help you create show stopping planters in their container design classes.
Baltimore Contained has also generously contributed to the neighborhood, donating crocus and daffodil bulbs to the Southeast Anchor Library for gardening club projects. Look for her flowers in the front beds this spring!

A Toast to Spring
Spring is finally here... and you know what that means... time for sipping on cocktails on the front stoop!

This recipe for White Sangria is quick, easy and great for any occasion!
Ingredients for one batch:
one bottle of chardonnay (any kind will do)
3/4 cup of peach Schnapp's
4-6 cups of fresh fruit (more or less...it's up to you!)
Step one...chill the wine and Schnapp's! I usually do this the night before, so everything is ready to go.
Step two...That night I also chop the fruit. I typically use apples,pears, and grapes, but any combo of fruit will do!
Step three...Put fruit into pitcher with Schnapps and let the fruit soak up the schnapps. Refrigerate overnight.
Next day...
Step four...Add wine to the Schnapp's and fruit and serve.
Step five...let the fun begin!
*Note* If serving at a party, be sure to let your guests know that the Sangria is spiked with Schnapp's...it is pretty sweet and tasty and might lead one to imbibe more than they planned! To avoid a hangover remember to have plenty of water and other non-alcoholic beverages available to keep everyone happy and hydrated!!!
