Help the Pollinators

Looking for inspiration?

• Take a run through our recommended plant list or our list of good replacements for non-native species
• Check an online resource and look for plants native to the Piedmont region of Maryland -- start with the Native Plant Center by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay
• Visit an existing pollinator garden for ideas -- check the map below

Ready to start your own garden? Get a local source of native plants!

• We put together a downloadable list
• Or, if you are a native plant supplier in easy reach of Southern Maryland, send us an email and let us know!

Willing to share your pollinator garden with others?

• Send us an email and we'll get some information from you so we can put you on the map!
