Chesapeake Bay Trust issued the following announcement on Aug. 28.
New Homeowners Install Bird and Bay-friendly Gardens
Orange Butterfly Milkweed blossoms were beginning to open on a hot Saturday in June as Tynita Cummings planted her new Bay-friendly garden at her home in Hurlock. Tynita is one of six Habitat for Humanity Choptank homeowners partnered with Pickering Creek Audubon Center in the Native Habitats for Habitat program, which works with homeowners to install native plant gardens at their homes. Each garden serves multiple purposes of landscaping the home with beautiful plants providing nectar, seeds and fruit for birds and pollinators, and helping to clean our local waterways.
Check out this fantastic program from Habitat for Humanity Choptank—funded by an Outreach and Restoration Grant from the Trust!
REMINDER: The Outreach and Restoration Grant program is currently open and accepting applications until 9/13/18 at 4 pm. Learn more and apply: http://bit.ly/2NMNAcZ
