(In case of rain, this event will take place on Sunday, Sept. 19th, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.)

All are invited to the Chesapeake Ecology Center’s (CEC) annual Garden Open House and Native Plant Sale. Whole Foods Market will generously donate refreshments. Master Gardeners will lead guided tours of the 30 Native Plant Demonstration Gardens and Sites, including 10 rain gardens, at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and Noon. The CEC is located just minutes from downtown and the State Capital, at Adams Academy at Adams Park Middle School, 245 Clay Street, Annapolis, Maryland 21401. The event is free and attendees will receive a free copy of the new 2010 book entitled Rain Gardens Across Maryland.  

RainScaping Partners are invited to participate. 

The CEC is one of 43 rainscaping partners, and like each partner, it lends its particular resources to the RainScaping Campaign, in this case, the CEC’s 30 Native Plant Demonstration Gardens and Sites.  The gardens and sites are a great resource for both taking educational tours and for on-the-ground rainscaping experience.  Notably, Anne Arundel County Master Gardeners, a rainscaping partner, provides tours for a variety of groups, as well as work with students at Adams Academy Middle School where the CEC and gardens are located.
