Ecological Landscaping Speaker Series & Native Garden Tours
In 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, Adkins Arboretum received funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust (CBT) to provide outreach and education to local Homeowner Associations (HOAs) and the general public, supporting environmentally friendly landscaping practices.

It is offered free of charge thanks to funding from CBT and Queen Anne’s County, and open to the general public.
