Well--I can't make it either--unless it is the 1st weekend. And--that would be next weekend.....

There is a $5 donation requested. This place is run by a few paid people and a bunch of volunteers.
They do the most work.

Well---I got my first Brazilian Plume flower there as a newly rooted plant....
Selling plants is a sort of a fundraiser there.
They have a "working" type of greenhouses where they propagate stuff and plant stuff.
Then they sell the plants.

I donated my 1st HUGE Ric Rac Cactus to them as it grew too large for my house.
It happily resides on a rocky ledge in the Mediterranian House.

If you cannot make it to this Show--they hold two others during the year.
The Spring Bulb Show and the fall Mum Show.
It is an amazing place to visit. They have 4 Greenhouses---
--The Mediterranean House
--The Tropical House
--The Cactus House
--The Orchid Room
--and-- the original structure from the 1800 hundreds--the 5 story Palm House--ALL glass!

They have amazingly landscaped gardens planted with beautiful plants and bulbs.
Weddings are held here--and also all kinds of other functions and workshops.

It is in Druid Hill park next to the Baltimore Zoo. Very close to Inner harbor to fill the rest of the day...

Are you sold yet???? G.
