"Bayscaping in Your Backyard" Program Introduced

Twenty eager residents gathered to learn more about different “greening” techniques available for improving vacant lots, community spaces, and backyards on May 5th at the "Greening to Improve Water Quality and Quality of Life" workshop. Joining Parks & People and Blue Water Baltimore staff experts were Cathy Thompson, Pat Holmes and Betty Bilske, all Master Gardeners trained in “Bayscaping in Your Backyard.” This is a measurable and certified way of ensuring your backyard improves water quality for your benefit and the health of Chesapeake streams, rivers and bays.
