ACWA is celebrating April: MD Native Plant Month

In 2023, along with all other 49 states and D.C., the State of Maryland has proclaimed April as “Native Plant Month”. In celebration, this year ACWA is highlighting native plant species that are better choices for a sustainable ecosystem, supporting numerous pollinator species, while also encouraging homeowners to remove aggressive invasive plants causing problems in our local watershed.

Each week, ACWA will highlight a native plant species that benefits our ecosystem, supports wildlife, and serves as a better choice for invasive plants in our landscape. We will also provide helpful references for property owners to remove invasive species in their area giving native species a chance to thrive and create wider biodiversity locally.

Follow along on our website blog for specific posts on native ground covers, shrubs, and trees as we raise awareness and celebrate the benefits of native plants in our landscape.
