Mill Creek Stream Extreme Cleanup 2026

Events, Garden, News, , , ,

Thanks to everyone that made our Mill Creek Drive Extreme Cleanup a success! On Saturday, April 18th for Earth Month, Mill Creek Towne Garden Club partnered with Rock Creek Conservancy and Montgomery Parks to help clean up Mill Creek Stream in our 2026 Extreme Cleanup! All in all, fourteen bags were filled, and eleven people participated. Our volunteers enjoyed the spring weather and the flora and fauna near the creek. They saw a box turtle, Virginia Spring Beauties, and Intermediate Wood Ferns, a reminder of why we want to keep our waters and parks clean! Thanks to our neighbors, Friends of Rock Creek Conservancy, and garden club friends who volunteered to make this project a success! Some people travelled here from as far as DC! After cleaning up, several garden club members weeded around the blooming pink dogwood. Here are photos from our Extreme Cleanup. Hope you can join us next year to continue making this a successful venture to help keep our water clean!

Next Saturday, April 25th from 8am to 12noon, we will be having a Plant & Yard Sale. This is our annual fundraiser to help fund our year-round projects including maintaining the Mill Creek Towne entrances and provide garden-related programs. We hope to see you then!
