As Spring arrives, let your mind— and feet—wander to warmer days spent experiencing all the Maryland’s historic sites have to offer—including wonderful, colorful gardens.
MARYLAND PUBLIC GARDEN CONSORTIUM
The Maryland Public Garden Consortium is a partnership of Maryland’s public gardens that advocates for the support and recognition of Maryland’s public gardens as significant community resources and seeks to broaden visitation to the gardens through promotional and educational opportunities. A mix of the most-well-known as well as some hidden gems are to be found in the fifteen participating gardens, like Virginia Gent Decker Arboretum at Washington College in Chestertown and the native Chesapeake Garden at Adkins Arboretum in Ridgley.
MARYLAND HOUSE & GARDEN PILGRIMAGE
Founded 85 years ago as the Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland, the Pilgrimage is a premiere multi-county historic house and garden tour. True to their founding tenets, proceeds from the tour are granted to architecturally and historically significant properties for their preservation and restoration throughout the state. Don’t miss this great event that gives back to Maryland!
