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.

National Moth Week
Celebrate National Moth Week- July 18th – 26th, 2026
Celebrate national moth week by observing moths in your area, creating moth-friendly habitat, and/or by teaching others about Maryland's moth diversity! Check out the National Moth Week website and their 2026 event map to see and register local mothing events. What is mothing? Observing moths, typically at night by a light source. Taking photos of any moths you see and uploading them to data sharing platforms like iNaturalist allows us to learn more about our local moths and inform future conservation efforts.
Moth Webinar: Want to learn more about Maryland's moths, creating moth habitat, and conducting your own mothing nights, see our recent recorded webinar, Moth-Friendly Maryland: The Vital Roles of Moths and How to Support Them.
Educational Display: Want to facilitate your own educational, youth/family-friendly nocturnal insects display? See this nocturnal insects display guide for print-outs, instructions, photos, and more to introduce others to mothing and the world of nocturnal insects!
Moth Groups ID Guide: Want to start differentiating moths? Check out this new Silhouette Guide to Major Moth Groups (handout). This can be used at tabling events, mothing nights, and more!
