Native Plant Sale to Benefit the Local Boys and Girls Club! Saturday May 16, 2009 Come out and support a good cause and "green" up your yard at the same time. Many species of native plants will be available for sale with all proceeds benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cecil County Maryland, Inc.. Native plants are more suited for our area, and therefore require less care and watering. Many once established require little maintenance and provide great habitat and food for wildlife. Don't know which native plants are best for your backyard? Master Gardeners and staff from the Wildlife Habitat Council will be available to help you decide which plants will thrive in your yard while providing food and shelter for local wildlife. Workshops on native plant gardening, and composting will also be available to participants as well as exhibits from local wildlife and community groups, and the famous Kilby Cream Ice Cream will be available! Everyone will benefit from this exciting event! Check back for updated times. Plants that will be available: Trees/Shrubs (limited quantities)
Wildflowers/Grasses
If you come early, feel free to join the Cecil Bird Club for some bird watching by participating in a bird walk on the trails at New Beginnings. Plan to meet at 7 a.m. at the New Beginnings parking area for the half-day nature walk. |
