Spring in Montgomery County, Maryland, is a breath of fresh air – literally. Flowers bloom, the days get longer, and everything feels a little lighter. It’s the perfect time to get outside, try something new, and enjoy the season. Whether you’re up for a stroll, a local festival, or just a good meal outdoors, here are some of the best ways to make the most of spring.
See the Flowers in Full Bloom
Spring means cherry blossoms, tulips, and daffodils everywhere. Brookside Gardens in Wheaton is a must-see, with walking paths that take you through some of the most beautiful blooms in the area. It’s peaceful, easy to navigate, and a great spot to just sit and take it all in.
For something more off the beaten path, check out Black Hill Regional Park. The trails are scenic but not too difficult, and there are plenty of spots to sit by the water and enjoy the view.
Check Out Local Festivals & Markets
Spring in Montgomery County means farmers’ markets, live music, and community events. Acoustics & Ales at Elm Street Urban Park is a great mix of local music and craft drinks – perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
Farmers’ markets are also in full swing, offering fresh produce, baked goods, and local crafts. It’s a great way to spend the morning and support small businesses, even if you’re just browsing.
Explore Local History
Montgomery County has plenty of hidden historical gems. Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park offers walking tours that bring the area’s history to life, including stories of the women who shaped the community.
If museums are more your speed, there are plenty of spots that offer a look into the past – perfect for an afternoon outing with a friend or Companion. For a deeper understanding of Montgomery County’s role in history check out the Josiah Henson Museum and Park, where you can learn about the Underground Railroad. The Glenstone Museum is a good choice if you’re interested in art; here, you can see post-World War II artworks.
Enjoy the Outdoors
The weather is warming up, and it’s a great time to get moving. The C&O Canal Towpath is a scenic spot for a bike ride or walk, and Cabin John Regional Park is ideal for a picnic or just some fresh air.
Even a simple walk around the neighborhood can be a great way to enjoy the season. If you’d rather not go alone, a Villi Companion can join you for a stroll, a coffee stop, or even help plan a fun outing.
