	The next General Meeting: May 23, 2013 7PM, Norbeck CC



	Located in Rockville, MD about 20 miles Northwest of Washington, DC, Norbeck Meadows is a quiet community of around 425 families (not including the deer!). The Norbeck Meadows Civic Association consists of a group of neighbors who volunteer their time and energy to plan various events for the community. Please check this site often for community news and events as well as links for the NMCA newsletter, The Mingler. This is YOUR site, so if you see any changes, or have any additions to the content, please send them along to the webmaster.

	Neighborhood Plant Exchange Norbeck Meadows resident Dave Miller is helping to facilitate a neighborhood plant exchange. Hostas too big to manage? Need to split your daffodils? Trade your "extra" plants with your neighbors – it's a great (and inexpensive) way to increase the variety of plants in your yard while helping your neighbors do the same! Below is Dave's list of plants available for adoption: Blue, white Siberian iris* (many) Yellow daffodils* (many) Oregon grape holly (Mahoney ilex)* 2-3 ft. (2), seedlings (20) Forsythia 2-4 ft. (many) Red maples 2-4 ft. (32) Green Hostas 2-3 ft. (7) * Deer resistant. Note: the best defense against deer browsing is an 8 ft. high deer fence - contact Dave for more info on deer fences. If you are interested in offering plants of your own for adoption or if you are interested in, contact Dave at dam12390@yahoo.com or 301-774-4905.
