The Chesapeake Ecology Center (CEC) is situated on 10 acres along the tidal headwaters of College Creek in Annapolis, Maryland. Since its beginning in 2002, the CEC Arboretum has grown and bloomed into 24 Native Plant Demonstration Gardens and Sites.
We invite you to tour the gardens and sites, located just minutes from downtown and the State Capital, on the grounds of Adams Academy at Adams Park, 245 Clay Street, Annapolis, Maryland. However, since we are based at a middle school, regular visiting hours during the school year are after 4 PM and anytime on the weekends and during the summer. Directions
Our mission: The Chesapeake Ecology Center is dedicated to promoting and educating the public about community greening and conservation landscaping practices for the Chesapeake Bay watershed that result in a healthier and more beautiful environment benefiting residents and the region's biological diversity.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental organization.
The Gardening season officially begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st. -Marie Huston. Check out the New Postings page for upcoming activities. Take a virtual tour of the Gardens at the Chesapeake Ecology Center. CEC brochure |
