The Maryland Bay-Wise Program   Have you seen those Bay-Wise Certified signs popping up all over Crofton, Maryland, since Labor Day? At least thirty members of Crofton Village Garden Club have received their certification since then. If you live in Maryland, chances are there's a storm drain within a half-mile of your home - if not a stream, river, or the Chesapeake Bay itself. That's why our landscaping practices can impact the Bay, even if we live hours away from its shores.  Better water quality through smarter gardening is what the Maryland Bay-Wise Program is all about - and it's MUCH easier than you might think to become Bay-Wise Certified. In fact, you may already follow landscape practices that satisfy the recommendations of the Master Gardeners who conduct the Bay-Wise home vis... 09/30/2014

More Cherry Blossoms Planted in Crofton, Mayland   Have you noticed the new cherry trees planted between Layton Street and Tarrytown Drive in Crofton, Maryland? Perhaps not, since they were planted after the blooming season in Spring. Katherine Callahan was the driving force behind Crofton's first cherry trees, planted along Crofton Parkway in the community's early years. Katherine was a founding member of Crofton Village Garden Club, and the club recently planted several new trees to replace others that had become damaged or diseased.  Those original trees were planted with funds donated by home-owners, but the recent planting was funded by Crofton's 50th Anniversary House Tour, which the garden club sponsored in December 2013. Crofton's cherry trees attract visitors and photographers ... 09/02/2014

If you don't have any school-age children in your household, you may not realize that most Anne Arundel County students in grades 1-9 will start school tomorrow, August 25, 2014. Crofton Elementary is the only local school where opening is delayed, but just one day until August 26, when the high school students will also start school. Kindergarteners have a staggered schedule until after Labor Day. Expect slight delays in getting to work as school buses and carpools are on the road again, after a two-month hiatus. Those pesky crossing-guards will be out in force, too. Take care, and allow a little extra time when you leave home tomorrow.   For a look at the complete school calendar, visit the Anne Arundel County Public Schools online. 08/24/2014

Wow! Crofton is rocking real estate sales in 2014. The latest report for June CLOSED SALES show an increase of 48.4% over June of 2013.

Besides the active listings though, Crofton, MD continues to be a destination point for buyers moving into the area. Halfway between the Baltimore and Washington, DC employment markets, and practically in the shadows of Ft. Meade, Crofton, MD really is one of the sought after communities in Anne Arundel County.

Well, the data is in, and May 2014 shows another steady gain in SOLD listings in Crofton, MD over the same period for 2013. As a matter of fact, January 2014 is the only month so far that hasn't exceeded sales in the same period in 2013.  Last year the inventory levels were exceedingly low, contributing to the weaker sales. This year, there has been an increase in Active Listings, and sales once again have taken off. CROFTON MD MARKET REPORT FOR MAY, 2014: 06/11/2014
