Bayscape Workshop – Glen Arm
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 volunteers to help install a Bayscape garden at a private residence in Glen Arm. 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 – 4218 Manorview Road, Glen Arm, MD 21057
What to expect: Dress for yard work (hat, long pants, sneakers/boots, sunscreen) and bring your own labeled water bottle. If possible, bring your own garden gloves. We will provide tools. The event will be held outdoors.
