- Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens - Druid Hill Park, 3100 Swann Drive, Baltimore, MD 21217
Since 1888, Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens has provided year-round color and beauty to the city's residents and visitors. Located near Baltimore homes for sale, it features five greenhouses, each with its own focus: The Palm House, The Tropical House, The Desert House, The Mediterranean House, and The Orchid Room. You can also sit and relax outside among the blooms in the Outdoor Gardens, where over two dozen planting beds are filled with perennials, annuals, and roses.
- Sherwood Gardens - 4310 Underwood Road, Baltimore, MD 21218
Located in Northern Baltimore, Sherwood Gardens is a private six-acre park found near Guilford homes for sale, but it's open to the public at no charge. The flower garden part of the park had its start in the 1920s when local petroleum pioneer and conservationist John W. Sherwood planted tulips he imported from the Netherlands. The garden has grown over the years to become North America's most famous tulip garden, and about 80,000 tulip bulbs are planted each year, along with other spring flowering bulbs.
- Cylburn Arboretum - 4915 Greenspring Ave., Baltimore, MD 21209
Cylburn Arboretum is a 200-acre property that provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's home to the Cylburn Mansion, a Victorian Renaissance home that was built in the late 1800s, and in 1954 the city founded the Cylburn Wildflower Preserve and Garden Center to help preserve the property's beauty. Twelve miles of trails take visitors through a natural landscape, and the property's formal gardens have been restored. It contains several different types of gardens, including one for roses as well as a butterfly garden.
- Fort McHenry - 2400 E. Fort Ave., Baltimore, MD 21230
Beautiful flowers probably aren't the first things that come to mind when you think of Fort McHenry, located near Locust Point homes for sale. Its grounds, however, are the site of an explosion of blossoms from its large cherry blossom tree groves. Students from local public schools planted 304 of the trees to celebrate George Washington's birthday. Trees have been replanted when necessary, and visitors can appreciate them for free.
- Ladew Topiary Gardens - 3535 Jarrettsville Pike, Monkton, MD 21111
While Ladew Topiary Gardens is famed for its artfully shaped shrubs, it's also home to many types of gardens that were inspired by the English "garden rooms" that were popular in the 1930s. These gardens were based on a single color, plant, or theme, and Ladew was one of the first sites in the U.S. to duplicate this method of planting. Today, the garden has "rooms" that include the Rose Garden, Pink Garden, and Yellow Garden, providing a wonderful opportunity to see beautiful spring flowers in a unique setting.
