Maryland is such a beautiful state.  We have mountains, rolling hills, farmland, waterways and beaches. Miles of hiking and biking trails.  Back roads to explore.  And all of it is there for us to enjoy!  But nature also needs our help and protection so future generations can also reap the benefits of these things.

Native Plants

Greater Baltimore Group Sierra Club is working with Garden Clubs of America to get a state bill passed to make every May Native Plant Month in Maryland.  Want to help?  Click here to sign on to a letter of support!  Or write to the Governor and your state legislators telling them you would like to see this bill passed in the 2026 legislative session.

Why Plant Natives?  See our Blog post for some reasons why we should be using more of these beautiful and functional plants especially adapted to Maryland's climate conditions!

The Frederick County Forest Conservancy District Board, Frederick County non-profit organizations, and the 5 Million Trees for Maryland Campaign join together for planting activities across Frederick and Washington Counties. Check their websites for upcoming activities, events, and volunteer opportunities.
