A presentation of the Ecological Landscaping Speaker Series & Native Garden Tours:
In 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, Adkins Arboretum received funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust (CBT) to provide outreach and education to local Homeowner Associations (HOAs) and the general public, supporting environmentally friendly landscaping practices.
This series was developed by building on the Naturally Better Landscaping project, in partnership with ShoreRivers, Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, Pickering Creek, Phillips Wharf, and Wild Ones Delmarva. It is offered free of charge thanks to funding from CBT and Queen Anne’s County, and open to the general public.
