Welcome!
The Mill Creek Towne Garden Club in Derwood, Maryland was established in 1968 with the mission to stimulate and increase knowledge and interest in all facets of gardening among amateurs, establish an active community beautification program and to encourage civic beautification, and foster group activities for the benefit of the members and the community. The garden club also landscapes and maintains the Mill Creek Towne entrances and common areas.

🎶Feelin' HOT, HOT, HOT! 🌞 (We're channeling our best Michael Scott vibes here at HGIC—if you know, you know!)
The thermometer's practically screaming "summer's here!" So, let's dive into July's gardening tips and tasks:
– Sneak in that watering session early, while the sun's not at nuclear level, to keep those leaves happy and avoid the midday sauna.
– Remember to let the hose cool down before spraying…your plants don’t want to be sizzled by sunbaked water!
– Escape the heat by cooling off indoors. Start planning which trees to introduce to your yard come fall or which garden plots to prep for spring planting! Local libraries have loads of gardening books for inspiration and you may even catch a Master Gardener plant clinic or talk!
– Sign up for a chip drop! Arborist wood chips are often free, fabulous, and double as Mother Nature's vitamin boost for your soil. It's a win-win for garden planning!
Stay cool out there Maryland!
