Enchanted Garden Now Open At HCLS's Miller Branch

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Make plans to pop by the Enchanted Garden at the Miller Branch of Howard County Library System, which has officially opened. A garden bed once devoted to summer annuals will be transformed into an edible landscape this growing season.

Thanks to the Howard County Garden Club, a new pollinator-themed garden filled with wildlife-friendly native plants and cultivars has been established. The new garden will support pollinators like bees, butterflies and moths.

Stroll through the garden during library hours Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursdays 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Gardeners also can borrow tools from the library system's DIY collection, such as rakes, shovels, garden spades, hedge shears, pruners, posthole diggers, wheelbarrows and trimmers. Call the Elkridge Branch at 410-313-5075 to reserve a tool today.
