Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization SNO helps facilitate community projects & engage residents in building a shared vision for Sharpsburg

Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization (SNO) was founded in 2014 as an association of residents and community stakeholders interested in improving the quality of life in Sharpsburg. SNO is working toward a shared vision of Sharpsburg as an engaged and empowered community that is healthy, walkable, and inclusive for all. To achieve this vision, SNO has established the following organizational priorit

ies:

1.) Engage residents—regardless of race, background, s*x, orientation, income level, religion, or ability—in an inclusive, visionary community planning process and empower them to lead and participate in local projects and initiatives.

2.) Improve the quality of life in Sharpsburg by promoting responsible, affordable, and equitable property ownership and development that serves the needs of the community and provides a safe environment for renters and homeowners.

3.) Strengthen connections between the community and nature by encouraging the development of a sustainable and connected riverfront that is integrated with the community, improved green infrastructure to manage stormwater and pollution, and expanded access to public green space.

4.) Promote community-oriented economic development that honors and preserves the unique character of Sharpsburg by engaging local businesses and attracting targeted investment that serves the needs of the community and its residents.

Meet the Wine Cap Mushroom - a garden multitasker that grows from spawn tucked into wood chips or straw, then spreads underground through a web of mycelium before popping up as big, burgundy-capped mushrooms!

Want to see how it works and learn a few other garden tricks along the way? Join us at the Sharpsburg Neighborhood Garden, 13th and Middle Street, every Tuesday from 4–6 PM to dig in, ask questions, and learn more about growing right alongside your neighbors.

No experience necessary. Just come curious!
