Mothers’ Garden is located at the NW corner of Clifton Park on Harford Road between Erdman Ave and 29th Street. It was established in 1926 to honor Baltimore’s moms at a dedication ceremony that attracted over 6000 people. The five acre garden consists of original stone structures including numerous staircases and paths, a pergola, rest pavilion, and a Japanese styled bridge that once spanned a lily pond. Numerous flower beds feature dozens of blooming botanicals year-round, and shaded walkways and benches offer visitors a peaceful refuge from city life. The Friends of Mothers’ Garden Association is a 501(c)(3) community charity dedicated to the conservation, promotion, and sustainable use of the garden.

A bit of excitement at Mothers' Garden this morning.... While we encourage visitors to walk, drive, or use the bus to get here, we prefer that the vehicles stay off the grass! Luckily nobody was hurt.
