Learn the importance of planting perennials that are suited to our environment.  Lovely planted tree pits not only serve as pollinator/butterfly waystations, but they help with rain runoff and the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  Perennials will be given away.

Presenter:  Leanna Wetmore is the Director of Events and Programs at the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore and is a Maryland Master Gardener. She works on the Healthy Harbor Initiative’s goal of a swimmable fishable harbor, and has facilitated hundreds of neighborhood greening projects to reduce polluted storm water runoff and increase the use of native plants. Whether a small tree pit or a big yard, Leanna can help you make a difference by planting the right plants in the right place to contribute to a healthy community, watershed, and ecosystem.

This program was accomplished with the support of the Friends of the Canton Library, and grants from The Healthy Harbor Initiative of Waterfront Partnership and Pompeian Olive Oil.
