Celebrate Spring at our EHC Spring Festival, Pre-Order Native Plants, and MORE!

May 9, 2023

Hello Janice,

May is shaping up to be a busy month at Evergreen! We'll be finishing up field trips for the school year. Although May 1st brought us a bit of a chill, we hope to soak up as much sun as we can before the summer heat sets in!

This month, we'll be at New Germany State Park for the Mountain Maryland Native Plant Festival hosted by the Maryland Native Plant Society on

May 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. . We'll have a variety of natives available for purchase (Cash ONLY). Also on May 13th, catch us at the Midland Sportsman Club (The Patch) for their annual Youth Day event!

And don't forget to mark your calendars for our first Open House of the year on Sunday, May 21 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.!
