As the weather heats up, so do the volunteer opportunities throughout MCMG.
Just as a reminder, you can access all the latest information about MCMG events, dates, and times on our calendar on Gardeners-Connected.groups.io. Please email Karen Donato (find her email address in VMS) to add events to the calendar.
Our annual spring potluck picnic is on June 4 at the Derwood UMD Extension Office. Please be sure to bring a potluck item to share for lunch at noon. If you were recognized for your five, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years of service, we will distribute Years of Service pins before the picnic from 11:30 am-noon.
Our new intern class will begin on June 9. Classes will be on Tuesdays in person and Thursdays online. The Intern Job Fair will be on Monday, June 25 at Derwood. Committee chairs will create informational displays, and interns can sign up for activities they want to volunteer for.
The Bay-Wise committee is back to work, performing site visits to certify county landscapes as Bay-Wise and providing recommendations for more sustainable landscapes. If you would like to have your landscape certified, go to our MCMG Bay-Wise webpage.
I truly appreciate everyone's commitment to MCMG's mission, and hope you’ll volunteer for upcoming activities. I look forward to seeing you soon!
Linda
