Read here for a Chesapeake Bay Trust 'My Green Story' discussing the experience of an ICCP Green Team member and the genesis of the Maryland Native Plants app.
Here at the Islamic Community Center of Potomac (ICCP), we have multiple gardens filled with Maryland native plants to support the local environment and watershed, making ICCP a friendly habitat for local wildlife.
This app is here to help you learn about Maryland native plants and animals, and how you can create a Maryland native plants garden yourself!
The Maryland Department of the Environment has praised the impact of Maryland Native Plants Search: "Your creativity, teamwork, and dedication to protecting Maryland's environment truly stand out, especially as students already contributing innovative ideas to support our state's sustainability goals. Your app is a wonderful example of how technology can connect communities with nature and inspire local action. By helping Marylanders identify and plant native species, you are supporting pollinators, strengthening ecosystems, and advancing Maryland's vision of a greener, more resilient future."
The ICCP Green Team thanks the Sacred Grounds effort of the National Wildlife Federation and the Chesapeake Bay Trust, as well as the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection for the Maryland native plants information used to create this community resource.
