Beaches Gardening Worcester

Ocean City, MD:

The Town of Ocean City is accepting grant applications for Pollinator Garden Plants. A pollinator garden is specifically designed to attract pollinating bees, birds, butterflies, bats and other small mammals, as well as habitat enhancement, water quality improvement and erosion control.

The Ocean City’s Green Team is committed to promoting pollinator gardens as a Sustainable Maryland Action Item. These gardens are a unique way to contribute to protecting the environment in Ocean City and they play an important role in keeping our community clean.

The pollinator gardens are offered to residential property owners and are required to be planted within the corporate limits of the Town of Ocean City. It’s important to avoid the use of pesticides and plant flowers close to one another.

Apply online at, https://oceancitymd.gov/oc/departments/planning-community-development. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 14, 2023. For more information, please contact Joann Landon at JLandon@oceancitymd.gov or 410-289-8887.
