When we think of summery pastimes, most of the options are markedly active. You might take the kids to the park, or head to the pool. But sometimes you want a more relaxing way to spend your summer days, and Rawlings Conservatory offers just that.
The second oldest glass conservatory in the United States, this time-honored venue hosts a wide variety of plants in five separate greenhouse rooms, as well as a half-acre garden space. During your visit, you can travel the world through its flora, moving from a tropical forest to a desert. Even more so, you can travel through time with additions like the Palm House, offering a return to Victorian Baltimore.
Perhaps best of all, you can enjoy all of this for just a small donation. And, just as excitingly, you can come home with your own piece of greenery, bringing a piece of Rawlings Conservatory back to your apartment. The “best kept secret in Baltimore,” the Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens is the perfect place to unwind, whether it’s sitting on a bench near the koi pond or traveling through orchids, cacti, and more.
