Chesapeake Natives Inc. Spring Festival brings together Native Plant enthusiasts and other non-profits like the Audubon Society during their open house sales event. "Join us for the Third Annual Rosaryville Native Plant Festival & Chesapeake Natives' 20th Anniversary Celebration!
Come out to Chesapeake Natives Nursery in Rosaryville State Park on Sunday, June 29th from 10AM–2PM for a day of nature, community, and celebration! In addition to our wide selection of *local ecotype native species (LENS)* grown from wild-collected seed in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, enjoy live music, food trucks, educational activities, local artists, and partner organizations.  
Our knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to help you find the perfect plants for your space, and to share how LENS support pollinators, wildlife, and a healthier Bay. Celebrate 20 years of impact with us—we can't wait to see you there!"

From rain barrels and downspout redirecting to rain gardens and no-mow lawns, there is a lot the average household can do to help keep our waterways clean!

Join Caroline DiGiovanni, Watershed Restoration Educator for the University of Maryland Extension, and learn how our home landscapes can help to protect water resources. We will explore our connection to local and regional waterways and learn about the many ways we can protect water resources without even leaving the backyard!

This event is supported by Griends of St. Clements Bay and Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay.

Registration required.

Join us for our bi-monthly Garden Chat to connect and learn from other native plant garden enthusiasts in our area. We welcome gardeners that are just beginning their journey to those with many years of experience as we all continue to learn about native plants and their ecosystems. 

Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay members, Robin Madel and Sue Williams, will give a presentation on turning residential gardens into more biodiverse native plantings. Topics include ecoregions, critical areas, and considerations for choosing native plants.
