UPDATE: The roses at Brookside Gardens are blooming so beautifully! As of, there’s actually a rose arbor where the wisteria was! I’ve never seen the roses climb quite this high! So really from April to May/June is the best time to visit Brookside Gardens. At the same time the wisteria and the azalea will also be in bloom.Īs soon as the tulips are gone, Brookside becomes a haven of roses in late May early June. When it’s cherry blossom season, there is a huge willowy cherry blossom tree next the Japanese tea house.įollowing the cherry blossoms, there is a perfect display of tulips in April. Springtime is my favorite time and one of the best times to visit Brookside Gardens. There is also a butterfly exhibit which has a fee: $8 ages 13+ $5 ages 3-12 Free ages 0-2. In addition to the magnificent gardens, Brookside has a cute children’s garden and play area with faux kitchen, car and a child-sized house.īrookside is definitely a great place for adults and kids!

The best part about Brookside is that it is completely free to enter. My floral midi dress available here, similar here, and here (only $22). In addition to the tulips, the wisteria and azaleas also make a grand showing around the same time as the tulips at this DC garden, not to mention the willow cherry blossom tree that stands next to the Japanese tea house. This garden also has spectacular cherry blossoms without the crowds of DC. Having been disappointed by the tulips at Burnside Farm, the tulips are always spectacular at Brookside Gardens. My favorite blooms to see here? The tulips! Often used as a wedding venue the gardens are kept in immaculate condition. This stunning 50 Acre formal garden is award winning and there’s no surprise why. On the weekend the parking here does get a bit crowded so you may want to go early.īrookside Gardens is located just slightly outside of DC in Wheaton Maryland. Haupt Garden is metro accessible and the closest metros station is off of the blue, orange, and silver line.ĭriving here is pretty easy with metered parking available at L’Enfant Plaza SW. This usually happens just before the cherry blossoms bloom around the Tidal Basin in DC, usually around mid-March.ġ2 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20219Įnid A.
A sea of roses full#
My favorite time to visit this DC garden is when the beautiful pink saucer magnolias are in full bloom. This DC garden is completely free so go enjoy the magical blooming trees in spring! Best Time to Visit Enid A. Our toddler loved running around The Moon Gate. This garden is very child and stroller friendly. When the saucer magnolias go into full bloom and the weather is nice it can get a bit crowded on a weekend, but there is still plenty of room to walk around. It literally is a sea of beautiful pink blooming trees.Īnd what truly makes this DC garden magical? Well there’s a CASTLE! The Smithsonian Castle surrounded by all the pink magnolias is one of the most stunning in Washington DC, I daresay it may even be more picturesque than the cherry blossoms at the tidal basin. The saucer magnolias bloom here just before cherry blossom season in Washington DC. Haupt Garden is my favorite garden in DC for magnolias!
