Cylburn Arboretum is a 207 acre urban park administered by the
Horticultural Divisionof the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. It is located within the city limits, but has the
feeling of an estate set in the rolling countryside. Collections
of Japanese maples, hollies, conifers, Maryland oaks (begun on
Arbor Day 1983) beeches, tree peonies, maples and magnolias stand
on spacious lawns and many gardens surround the Victorian Mansion.
Trails wind through the woodlands, where rare trees, native
plants and wildflowers may be studied.
