Join us for our expanded and improved annual native plant sale with our new partner - Shaver's Creek Environmental Center. In addition to the plant sale, the event will include wildflower walks and educational presentations. You can also enjoy the Shaver's Creek attractions. Come out for a day of fun - bring your camera and go on a wildflower hike, learn about native plants, and take a few home for your garden!
Feature Presentation: 11:00 Going Native in Your Backyard: an indoor slide presentation by Liz McDowell, Maryland Native Plant Society
Switching to native plants and using conservation landscaping techniques is crucial to the long term health of the environment. As habitat is lost and exotic species invade the most wild and rural areas of our region, gardeners can play a key role in maintaining regional biodiversity. Many native alternatives to the exotic invasive plants commonly used for landscaping in western Maryland will be highlighted. Discover the connection between native plants, wildlife and people. Enhance and preserve regional biodiversity by simply 'going native'.
