CA village CARES and environmental groups have come together to raise awareness of the many invasive shrubs common in residential landscaping, and to offer FREE beautiful and environmentally beneficial native shrubs in exchange for removing invasive shrubs.
Register ahead through this form and reserve up to two native shrubs, choosing from eight options.
June 1 update: We are nearing the end of our inventory and have only a few species of shrubs remaining.
At least two weeks prior to pick up you will need to submit before-and-after photos to document removal of invasive shrubs from your yard.
Pick up your replacement 3-gallon size native shrubs at Howard Community College on Saturday, October 19.
While supplies last.
This native shrub exchange was made possible by a grant from Chesapeake Bay Trust and matching support from Columbia Association.
