HOW DOES YOUR LANDSCAPE MEASURE UP?

Bay-Wise Maryland is a homeowner education program conducted by Maryland Master Gardeners ​in several counties.  According to the University of Maryland Extension, most Maryland residents live within a half-mile of a storm drain, stream or river. Most of those waterways eventually drain into the Chesapeake Bay. What we do to maintain our own landscapes can affect the health of our local waterways (drainage ditches, streams, and rivers), the Chesapeake Bay and our environment. We all need to do our part to take care of our waterways and environment. By changing a few simple landscape practices, you and your family can help keep Maryland communities healthy.

In September 2014, Crofton Village Garden Club introduced the Bay-Wise Certification initiative to actively promote Bay-Wise practices in our own yards and throughout our community. Master Gardeners will work with you using the Bay-Wise Yardstick to evaluate your garden practices. If you are interested in a yard visit, please send a request to the Bay-Wise Committee at getbaywise2012@yahoo.com.
