Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Do you love tulip gardens? If you find yourself in Baltimore in the Spring hop on over to Baltimore's famous Sherwood Gardens, lovingly maintained by the Guilford community's residents since 1965. But that's not all there is to Sherwood Gardens- in more recent years the residents and the Guilford Association have planted a variety of lush colorful annuals for year round enjoyment. Spring or summer, bring a picnic and enjoy the sights and sounds of this 6 acre garden oasis near Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore City. FREE

- What a beautiful place. Your lens title caught my eye because I live near Sherwood Forest in Nottingham the UK. It made me smile with your module titles of 'in the Hood' because Robin Hood lived in Sherwood naturally.

- Hi ilma,
The tulip bulbs are removed from Sherwood Gardens beds at the end of each blooming season to be replaced by new bulbs for the next spring bloom. At the end of May each year, always the Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend starting at 7:00 AM the tulip bulbs are available to be dug and purchased for a nominal cost of 30 cents per bulb. Participants should bring a shovel or spade and a bag for their bulbs. This year, the tulip dig will be on Saturday, May 28.
