The Agricultural Reserve also serves as the "Green Lung" that cools and cleans the air and protects our drinking water and wildlife. Post-film Q & A features local experts on farming along with filmmaker and Executive Director of the non-profit Montgomery Countryside Alliance, Caroline Taylor. Film produced by Montgomery Countryside Alliance. Door-prize sponsored by Mill Creek Towne Garden Club, Derwood, MD. Refreshments will be provided. This program is for Adults and Teens.

Mill Creek Towne Garden Club
Established in 1968, the objective of the Mill Creek Towne Garden Club is to stimulate and increase knowledge and interest in all facets of gardening among amateurs, establish an active community beautification program and to encourage civic beautification, and foster group activities for the benefit of the members and the community. The garden club also landscapes and maintains the Mill Creek Towne entrances and common areas.
The club meets once a month, at 7:30 pm on the 4th Tuesday of each month (except for May, July, November, and December). During school year, meetings are held at Mill Creek Towne Elementary school and during the summer, meetings are held at individual member’s homes. Each meeting features a garden-related program.
