Our May meeting will be Sat., May 18th, tentatively scheduled to be at the Hyattsville Municipal Building, and will feature snacking, socializing, and sharing slides of our gardens.
Our June meeting on Sat., June 15th will be a Hyattsville garden tour co-sponsored by HHS, the city of Hyattsville, the Audubon Society, the Chesapeake Bay Trust, and the Prince George’s County Rain Check Rebate Program. On this walkable garden tour, you’ll see local gardens with native plants, water-smart features installed through Rain Check Rebate, and/or certified bird/wildlife habitat. Experts will be on hand to answer your questions related to these features. More details as they are ironed out.
