Welcome!
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 club meets once a month, at 7:00 pm on the 4th Tuesday of each month (except for May, June, July, November, and December).
Native Plants Are Just the Beginning.
Native plants provide the foundation for healthy ecosystems, but creating habitat that truly supports wildlife takes more than choosing the right species. Birds, pollinators, amphibians, and other wildlife rely on nesting sites, shelter, water, healthy soils, and other resources that are often overlooked in traditional garden design.
Join landscape ecologist, Certified Wildlife Biologist, and author Shaun McCoshum, PhD, for a free Wild Ones webinar as he shares practical, evidence-based strategies for transforming your landscape into a functioning ecosystem that supports biodiversity year-round.
