DPW’s Spring GROW Center season will feature five pop-up events and six free workshops. Attend one of the upcoming activities and get some great resources to help with your greening projects. Free trees, mulch, seeds, and reusable shopping bags will be available, as well as information on stormwater fee credits, plant advice, recycling and composting, adopt-a-lot, and other ways to make your home and community greener, cleaner, and more resilient. First come, first serve while supplies last.

The following is the schedule for GROW Center events. Please note the times for each event. The workshops are FREE but require registration. In-person workshops have limited space availability. Compost workshop attendees will receive a compost bin, courtesy of DPW Bureau of Solid Waste.

We welcome you to attend just one or ALL of the sessions. Build your network and care together.

 We:  Provide all the supplies, including gloves!

 You: Dress for the weather, remember comfortable/water resistant shoes and please bring your own reusable water bottle!

Help us plant trees for cleaner air and water in Baltimore County! 

Do you like being outside in nature and getting your hands in some soil? Join us and make a difference for future generations by planting trees!

More than 40,000 trees have been planted throughout the Gunpowder Watershed by enthusiastic volunteers over the past 36 years, and we need YOUR help to plant even more! 

A maximum of 40 people, including GVC staff and volunteer leaders, will be allowed to participate in this event. We are allowing minors (ages 8 – 17) to attend our events as long as there is one parent/legal guardian per four children in attendance.
