In 2023 and 2024, Adkins Arboretum was awarded funding by the Chesapeake Bay Trust (CBT) to provide outreach and education to local HOAs in support of environmentally-friendly landscaping practices. This speaker series was developed as part of the Naturally Better Landscaping project in partnership with ShoreRivers and Queen Anne’s County officials and is free for HOA members thanks to CBT funding and open to the general public. All presentations will be held at the Arboretum unless otherwise noted.
Wouldn’t you like your garden to sing in all four seasons? Join us for a talk highlighting native shrubs and perennials that will help you achieve year-round interest in your landscape. We will also discuss native alternatives to commonly used invasive plants.
