Conservation

The focus of the Conservation Committee is to encourage members of the Talbot County Garden Club to be good stewards in maintaining community and individual gardens. Since 2022 through its Project Grants Program, the Club has funded and overseen these garden installations and renovations:
- Landscape Renovation: Historic Rail Station, Easton (2026)
- New Landscaping: Talbot County Free Library, St. Michaels (2026)
- Restoration: Rectory Garden at Christ Church, Easton (2025)
- New Landscaping: The Arc Central Chesapeake Region, Easton (2024)
- Landscape Renovation: U.S. Post Office, Easton (2023)
- Plantings along the Rails to Trails Extension, Easton (2022, 2023 and 2025)
To aid this effort, the Club now holds annual native plant sales of high quality specimens for members and the public.

Members practice wise gardening practices include composti
ng, mulching, and using natural, organic products in both home and garden. Members are encouraged to use Bay Wise practices in planting native perennials, shrubs, trees, and grasses in order to provide and sustain natural environments for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
