Lets get this thread moving down the page. I probably should have posted under Evergreens for MD.

I had never heard of Brookside Gardens, but I looked up their website and it looks like they are a great resource and not too far of a drive for those of us in Northern Virginia. I may have to get by there sometime. It seems that Loudoun County is a step or two behind Fairfax and Montgomery in resources for gardeners.

I love Brookside Gardens, but I never think to go there this time of year. Thanks for the reminder what's worth seeing.

The National Arboretum is well worth a winter visit, also.

Oh I love Brookside too but I haven't been there in awhile.

Brent you aren't too far from Surreybrooke Herb Farm which is located in Middletown, Md. That's probably about an hour from you. I wouldn't go right now but it's a beautiful place to visit in the spring & summer. It's a nice drive too.

The pictures in the link hardly do it justice and it just gets better every year.

Check out the Maryland Public Garden Consortium Web page. It lists the public gardens...some are free, some are not, in Maryland. I know there is a site for the Washington Area too but, I don't know the name off the top of my head.
