SUMMARY:January Mill Creek Towne Garden Club Meeting Topic: Gardening for Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Hello Neighbors\, Fellow Gardeners\, and Friends!  \nHappy New Year to you!  This winter\, to help us create wildlife-friendly habitats\, our January program will be on “Designing a Certified Wildlife Habitat”\, presented by Susan Bell\, Master Gardener. Susan will describe the four things needed to attract wildlife to our gardens.  These are food\, water\, shelter and nesting sites.  She will discuss some of the best of our native plants that supply the fruit and berries food the animals require\, also the flowers that attract the most pollinators who sustain our food crops.  Since our birds depend on lots of insects for their nestlings.  All wildlife augment their diets with insects too\, so you will learn the importance of decaying wood/snags and other plant material that support life.  She explains the need for restricting the use of fertilizers and toxic chemicals; and returning to the use of natural materials and simple methods to protect the environment.   \nWe hope you can join us.  Below are the meeting details. \nDate:  Tuesday\, January 23\, 2018\nTime:  7:30 p.m.\nLocation:  Mill Creek Towne Elementary School Teacher’s Lounge\n17700 Park Mill Dr.\nDerwood\, MD 20855\nSpeaker:  Susan Bell\nTopic: Gardening for Wildlife\nHostess:  Heather Whirley\nCost: FREE\, Donations gratefully appreciated!\n \nNOTE: If Montgomery County Schools are closed due to inclement weather\, the Garden Club meeting will be cancelled. \nSusan Bell \nIn 2002\, Susan Bell followed a life-long passion for gardening to become a licensed landscape contractor. She has helped hundreds of homeowners envision\, create and install the gardens they always wanted. Additionally she helps by providing hand pruning and seasonal maintenance services to keep gardens healthy and in tip-top shape. As a Master Gardener speaker\, Susan develops design and garden maintenance presentations to pass on knowledge gained through years of hands on experience. \n

SUMMARY:01/27/2016 - Nature Matters: Climate Change and Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Our local native flora is essentially tied to other aspects of the ecosystem\, including weather patterns. While many animals have the ability to move when conditions become rapidly unfavorable\, plants don’t have that option. Dr. Sara Via\, with the University of Maryland\, will lead us on an exploration of the effects our changing climate has on native plant communities and the animal populations they support. This intriguing lecture series focuses on local nature and conservation topics. Check-in and refreshments begin at 6:45pm\, and the one-hour lecture followed by Q & A begins at 7 pm.  \nAges 14 & up \nTo Register\, please visit: https://apm.activecommunities.com/montgomerycounty/Activity_Search/5160 \n
