Delicate pink and white cherry blossoms aren't just beautiful to look at; they're surefire signs that spring has sprung.
Baltimore is home to many decades-old cherry trees that bloom every year in late March or early April. This season, our real estate agents invite you experience this natural wonder up close. Walk with us as we admire the cherry blossoms and other spring flowers at these five Baltimore parks and gardens.
Fort McHenry's 152 cherry trees attract thousands of visitors to this historic site each spring. Planted in 1932 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth, each tree represents one of the public schools operating in Baltimore at the time. The trees were divided into two groves to reflect the racial segregation that divided the city's schools until the mid-1950s.
While Fort McHenry itself is a ticketed attraction, the cherry trees are located on the public part of the grounds. You can visit from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day during the spring season.
The Baltimore Museum of Art's outdoor sculpture gardens have a number of cherry trees. The space has two components:
The two gardens combined span nearly 3 acres and house 33 striking contemporary art sculptures. You'll find most of the cherry trees in the wooded areas of the Levi Garden. Walking trails connect these areas to the main entrance, making this a great place for a quiet stroll.
The gardens are free to visit, but they're only open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to dusk. Stop by in early April to catch the magnificent magnolia trees near the entrance in bloom, too.
Druid Hill Park has dozens of cherry trees across its 750 acres. The groves here have both early-blooming Yoshino white and late-blooming Kanzan pink trees, so there's sure to be plenty of flowers to enjoy no matter when you visit.
You'll find most of the cherry trees clustered along the edge of Druid Lake in the southeastern area of the park. This area is free to visit, and there are paved roads and trails nearby for easy access.
Save some time to visit a few of the park's other attractions, including:
Sherwood Gardens might be best known for its spring tulip displays, but it also has a multitude of mature cherry trees and other flowering trees on its grounds. Some notable species you'll spot here include:
The gardens are part of a private park open to the public, and they're open from dawn to dusk every day during the spring season. Plan to visit no later than early April to avoid peak crowds. Parts of the tulip gardens are usually in bloom by then, but most people who want to see them wait until peak bloom hits a few weeks later.
Wyman Park Dell is one of the quieter green spaces near our Baltimore homes for sale, spanning 16 acres just south of Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Museum of Art. There are many tall and hardy cherry trees growing here, including many with delicate pink blooms clustered in a scenic spot near the Union Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
This public park is open every day during daylight hours. The space is maintained by unpaid community volunteers who take great pride in keeping it neat.
Cherry blossom season may not last long, but Baltimore's abundance of parks and gardens will keep on flowering for months to come. Contact us today to find a new Baltimore home where you can watch it all unfold.
