The Cylburn Arboretum in Baltimore also has a "Market Day" in the Spring.
The grounds are very spacious and meander all over. Acres and acres....
It is like a Flea market heavy on plant sales.....LOTS of plants for sale!

Besides--Rawlings sells all their bulbs there from the Spring Bulb Show they hold in April.
The potted bulbs, from the show, are left to "mature" and then the bulbs are removed
and sorted out. I went once to help them do this--lots of work!

Anyway--that year--they sold these bulbs 3/$1. Their bulbs, every year, are ordered
straight from Switzerland--ALL top quality and the latest varieties.
That is the year they also sold growing cuttings from my Maya Brug that I donated them.
The year it grew to 7'x7'...Remember the monster pictures??? Sept. 2009 ....

I don't have a date to give you--but.......
the Bulb Show is some time in April--so the Market Day is, probably, in May some time.
The only number I have for Cylburn is: 410-396-0180. You can call and ask.
