Youth Gardening Club is taking a field trip to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore! Please arrive by 3:45 pm to give us enough time for the tour and activity and to also wear comfortable walking shoes, hats, and sunscreen since we will be outside the entire time. Because of the rainy weather we have been experiencing please carry an umbrella for this fieldtrip.
Our meeting spot is in the parking lot of the new Engineering and Aviation Science Complex (parking lot is in the back of the building). Please see the campus map in the attached file.
