4900 in the Spring, Baltimore, Maryland

Most Maryland residents live within a half-mile of a storm drain, stream or river. Most of those waterways eventually drain into the Chesapeake Bay. What we do to maintain our own landscapes can affect the health of our local waterways (drainage ditches, streams and rivers), the Chesapeake Bay and our environment.

The MD Bay-Wise Program is a homeowner education program conducted by Maryland Master Gardeners in several counties. Our yard was certified in 2008.
