Property & Planning Background
The Implementation Strategy 2025
The Vollmer Visitor and Education Center
Today Cylburn is Baltimore's largest public garden! Cylburn Association uses the gardens and surrounding nature as the staging area for educational programs and activities for all ages. Between 2008 and 2010, Cylburn constructed 2 new buildings. The Vollmer Visitor and Education Center was built utilizing many green building techniques. It features modern solutions to reduce the building’s impact on the environment like composting toilets, a “living” green roof, and geothermal heating and cooling.
A private estate that had seen Baltimore's history unfold for more than a century became a public site for the study of natural history—a rich repository of Baltimore’s geologic, ecological, and horticultural past. Come and see all that Cylburn Arboretum has to offer. Cylburn Arboretum is accessible by bus route #1, which stops just west of the intersection of Greenspring Avenue and Cylburn Avenue.
