Bayscape Workshop
Create a beautiful yard, preserve local waterways, and protect the Chesapeake Bay.
Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC), a Baltimore County-based land trust and watershed restoration non-profit, is looking for people interested in learning about Bayscape gardens at a private residence in Timonium. Bayscapes replace lawn with native plants that support wildlife, reduce landscape maintenance, and filter rain water from your yard, driveway, roof, or other hard surfaces.
This free workshop includes:
- Brief presentation about the benefits of adding native plants to gardens
- Hands-on gardening opportunity – help add native plants to an almost-finished garden bed
- Clear Creeks Project information – learn how GVC can help you promote clean water at your home, business, or place of worship
Location: Private Residence – 71855 Cape May Road, Essex, MD 21221
What to expect: Dress for an outdoor workshop (hat, sunscreen, sturdy shoes) and bring your own water bottle.
