Green Spring Gardens is a must-visit park, a year-round gold mine of information and inspiration for the home gardener. It's an outdoor classroom, a museum, and a national historic site.
The park has a wooded stream valley with ponds, a naturalistic native plant garden, more than 20 thematic demonstration gardens, a greenhouse, a plant shop, two gift shops, a historic house, and a horticultural reference library. The gardens and educational programs focus on practical landscaping techniques that are appropriate for the Washington metro area.
Park grounds are open from dawn to dusk.
ADA Renovations: The Park Authority is renovating many of Green Spring’s pedestrian routes for ADA compliance purposes. Work is expected to be completed in Winter 2019. Because of this work, select routes will be temporarily closed. Alternative routes are being provided. Thank you for your patience.
