Thanks to everyone who showed up and braved the rainy day to support us at our first Plant and Yard Sale yesterday! It was a successful fundraiser that helped us cover costs for our upcoming community garden-related events as well as for maintenance of the Mill Creek Towne entrances! Here are some pictures from our Spring Plant and Yard Sale.

Mill Creek Extreme Cleanup 2024

Mill Creek Stream Extreme Cleanup Recap

Events, News, , ,

Thanks to everyone that made our two-day Extreme Cleanup of Mill Creek Stream a success! We had a total of 22 people help with the stream clean up on both sides of Shady Grove Rd. We collected 24 bags of trash. See below for photos from our Extreme Cleanup. Hope you can join us next year to continue making this a successful venture to help keep our water clean! #LoveRockCreek #EarthDay2024 #earthmonth

On Friday-Saturday, April 19-20, 2024 Mill Creek Towne Garden Club and our community participated in Rock Creek Conservancy and Montgomery Park’s Earth Month Extreme Cleanup to help cleanup Mill Creek Stream for a litter removal restoration event in Rock Creek Park. Trash is the visible form of stormwater pollution, a major threat to water quality and park health and its removal makes the parklands cleaner, safer, and more beautiful for all. This annual event is a watershed-wide cleanup movement with the goal of total trash removal throughout Rock Creek, its tributaries, and surrounding neighborhoods and parklands.
