BAY-WISE MEMBERS
Bay-Wise Maryland is a homeowner education program conducted by Maryland Master Gardeners in several counties. The program emphasizes that most Maryland residents live within a half-mile of a storm drain, stream, or river, which eventually drains into the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland Master Gardeners educate homeowners about sustainable landscape practices that reduce runoff, conserve water, and promote healthy ecosystems. By adopting simple practices such as reducing fertilizer use, planting native species, and managing stormwater, homeowners can help protect local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay. Everyone has a role in maintaining the health of our environment, and small changes in landscaping practices can have a big impact.
Crofton Village Garden Club currently has 21 Bay-Wise certified members who promote sustainable landscape practices to protect local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay.
