Well, Barbara, you'll certainly get rid of the 'cold'...it's in upper
90's this weekend around here tho' next week is slated to go back to
mid to upper 80s:-)
I'm not in Baltimore - perhaps someone else on the list is, but I'm
only about 45 minutes south of it. You can't visit there without
going to the Inner Harbor - all kinds of touristy spots to buy
souvenirs and stuff your face - not much in the garden line there,
however. There's also a marvelous aquarium on the harbor...well
worth a visit.
About 45 minutes northwest? of Baltimore is Ladew Topiary Gardens - I
enjoyed seeing it a good deal the times I've been - also toured the
house which was interesting. Baltimore zoo is a nice zoo with some
very creative landscaping in several parts - very nice way to spend a
day. There's another garden just north of the Baltimore beltway that
I visited many years ago and cannot remember the name of...drat!
If you want to head about 45 minutes south of Baltimore to
Washington, DC, there's the National Arboretum.
