Croquet Garden Party
One Sunday off, the Conservatory had an even with sundresses and croquet in their garden! It was a fund raiser and I <3 the Conservatory and Druid Hill park so much! I had to go. If you're in baltimore and haven't been. GO! I discovered it by looking at google maps and seeing a big green space in the middle of Baltimore and saying "I want to go there!" and Did.

| Agave about to be in bloom .. or in bloom ... they had two, one bloomed first, then the other one |
 |
| inside, refreshments were provided! |
 |
| Here both of the agave flower stalks can be seen! they bloom once, then die |
 |
| The outside flower gardens; I learned that they were planted by local school kids after the rose gardens got to expensive to maintain! Which is awesome, roses are over rated anyway. |
 |
| The outside set up, it was SO HOT |
 |
| inside the conservatory. I love this plant, though I always forget it's name :( |
 |
| The cool Jazz band and the festivities |
 |
| croquet! long shot, didn't get any close ups for some reason (the heat addling my brain probably) |
Druid Hill Green Map: Passport Sunday!
So a while ago I was part of a kickstarter to create a passport to Druid Hill Park. It was created by friends of druid hill park and
Baltimore Green Map! So I got a Green map to Druid Hill Park, and then at the Event got a passport - A little book designed to make you interact with the park and it's history! Pretty neat. The Event was a guided little tour through the park using the Passport!

| These Glass Murals (six of them) depict historic Druid Hill park, which once held a flock of sheep, complete with a park shepard! |
