We are so excited for you to join us for our Fall Native Tree and Shrub Giveaway!
Please review the available plants in the registration/signup link. We are offering 5 native plant species: 4 trees and 1 shrub. You can view pictures of the species under Related Files. In an effort to reach as many community members as possible, we ask that you sign up for one plant per family. Don't see a tree species for your site? A selection of native perennial plants will also be available.
Our Giveaway is on Saturday, October 5, 12:00-2:00 PM, at the College of Southern Maryland, La Plata Campus. It will take place in the front of the ST Building near Parking Lot 3. Please come anytime between 12 PM and 2 PM to pick up your plant. This is a family event! In addition to the giveaway, fun, educational games and crafts about pollinators and native species will be available.
Special Thanks: We extend our sincere gratitude to the 7th-grade students of Saint Mary's County Public Schools. Since 2008, they have grown native plants from seed for their service learning, generously providing these plants free of charge to support community projects throughout Southern Maryland.
