We took a visit here because of the great reviews on this site, and other Baltimore garden websites, and were quite impressed! We went a bit after the peak of the tulip season so I can only speak for the area during this time of year since it was our first time and I don't know how the grounds are... More

I've been coming here since I was an infant and make sure to come back every spring I can. It's just a small park in a residential community, but it is immaculately taken care of. Though it's in the city, it's in the suburban section of Homeland and feels worlds away from the city. Definitely recommend visiting for the tulips,... More

What a beautiful venue!! Tucked in a neighborhood of stately mansion-like homes is this oasis of tulips, trees, green grass, and stone benches where you can sit and watch the people enjoying themselves as they picnic, play ball, and just enjoy this gem.

I have lived in Columbia for 30 years and never heard of Sherwood Gardens until this year thanks to google. I was looking for something to do in the spring. We went on a weekday when some tulips were not yet in bloom but the grace and the beauty and peacefulness of this area is so captivating. No visitor center,... More

The best time to visit Sherwood is tulip season! I go every year. They have so many varieties and the gardens are gorgeous! One year my husband and I took a little picnic and some champagne for my birthday, really fun! The next year (on my birthday) a bunch of friends spent a few hours there hanging out in the... More

Sherwood Gardens is a small-medium park in the middle of Baltimore that blooms beautifully in spring. If you pick a nice day in April or May, when tulips and/or azaleas are in bloom, you've got possibly the loveliest place in the city. The park is surrounded by beautiful old homes, children are playing, couples are canoodling, and it's just really,... More

A short drive from Baltimore and Philadelphia, it is an Alice in Wonderland type of place. It is constantly changing with the weather and the seasons. Spring and Christmas are exceptional times with the expected variety of plants, flowers and decorations. I have been there at six times over the years and need to return soon. There is always something... More

Visit in the spring when the bulbs are on display...or in the summer when families have their blankets on the manicured grass enjoying the fresh air as their children frolic around the area

Sherwood Gardens are truly a hidden Gem in Northern Baltimore City. While the garden are there year 'round, the time to visit is when the Tulips and Azalea are in bloom...IT IS GORGEOUS! Late April and early May you will be in bumper to bumper traffic driving around the park, but it is well worth it. This is a site... More

Having grown up in the Baltimore area, I wonder why my parents didn't take us to this magical garden as children. The tulips are magnificent! The dogwood trees were also in bloom and fabulous. There were so many families enjoying a lovely sunny day. Several had picnic lunches on the lawns. The children frolicked nearby playing hide and seek or... More
