Five Minute Histories: Sherwood Gardens

Can you imagine a heavenly place lined with almost 100,000 flowering tulips? Well, you don’t have to imagine anymore-just stroll over to Sherwood Gardens in Guilford! For today’s Five Minute Histories, join us in the gardens to learn how this beautiful place got started, and where it’s going. Thanks for watching and see you next week!
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, TH-cam channel, and website. For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreherit...

I grew up in northeast Baltimore and never knew about this. Baltimore has so must rich history!

I'd add the Shot Tower, the Rawlings Conservatory, and the Mount Washington Octagon to the "7 Wonders of Baltimore" list!

Love this place - grew up loving it too. The tulip dig is really something extraordinary.

Another great piece. I have participated in the wandering through as well as the digging up of bulbs. Truly a Baltimore wonder!

[@jacquelinecapel5282]

I would love to take a visit there. It's Beautiful!

I love Sherwood Gardens. I also think it is important to mention how the Roland Park Company (RPC), and its product, Guilford, were Jim Crow racial projects that influenced national American racial oppression that still exists today. I really appreciate your videos + non-profit. It is just hard hear about the RPC and not shudder at the continued race & class segregation in our city today.

Other suggestions for the "Wonders of Baltimore" list: The Patterson Park Pagoda/Observatory and Greenmount Cemetery.

Wonderful, as always, Johns. I walk/run up there almost every day, and it really is a glorious gift to the city.

[@maryskeen8972]

Good idea but the actual video showed one person standing in one spot, and nothing else of the gardens! (which were clearly in season for the tulips.)
