The Mill Creek Towne Garden Club in Derwood, Maryland was established in 1968 with the mission to stimulate and increase knowledge and interest in all facets of gardening among amateurs, establish an active community beautification program and to encourage civic beautification, and foster group activities for the benefit of the members and the community. The garden club also landscapes and maintains the Mill Creek Towne entrances and common areas.
The W.A.N.D.E.R. workshop series is intentionally designed for Women and Non-Binary Individuals to learn outdoor skills in a safer space that centers their lived experience. We hope to foster an environment where Women and Non-Binary Individuals feel empowered to explore, learn, and thrive in the great outdoors.
On Sept. 12, join us this fall for a naturalist-led walk along the C & O canal in search of Maryland’s coolest native fruit: the paw paw. We’ll explore the ecological connections of paw paw trees, tips for responsible foraging, and delicious ways to prepare paw paw fruit. Exact meeting location along the canal will be emailed in advance to registrants.
