Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary - Emory Waters Nature Preserve

Join staff and volunteers on Wednesdays 9 am - 12 noon at the Emory Waters Nature Preserve to work in our pollinator gardens. To beat the heat we will meet 8-11 am June 21-Sept 15. See Jug Bay’s newest property and learn about native perennials that support our native butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Volunteers will weed, mulch, prune, and plant to revive, maintain, and build pollinator gardens. Meet new friends and enjoy interesting conversations. Bring gardening gloves, your favorite tools, and plenty of drinking water. Current health guidelines will be enforced. Ages: 12 and up, minors must be accompanied by an adult. Free. Walk-ins welcome! Groups of five or more please call Debra at 410-222- 8006 to arrange. Proceed through the driveway gate about 1 mile to the second white house.

Gather around a crackling fire as we explore the sights, sounds, and smells of wintertime in London Town. Watch as light dances across the room from your very own punched tin design and listen to the fire hiss, snap, and pop, while you create a scrumptious colonial treat. $8 for member children, ages 6 – 12, or $10 for non-member children, ages 6 – 12. Pre-registration is required.

PLEASE NOTE: This occurs from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM or from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.
