🌳🌷🪻 Ladew Topiary Gardens 🌾🪷

This will be a self-guided tour of Ladew.
Our group time will be in-between two other school field trips so they asked us to arrive and enter at specific times.
Pack a lunch and we will all meet under the pavilion at the parking lot to eat together as a group from 11:30 - 12:00.
I will check us all in and get our admission stickers then I will pass them out to everyone during lunch. We will enter the gardens at noon. You can gather in groups of friends to explore together or go solo as a family, whichever suits you best. Ladew closes at 4 pm so you will have four hours to see all Ladew has to offer. Feel free to leave anytime if you do not want to stay until 4 pm.
Ladew will provide us with their scavenger hunt and habitat worksheets for the different age groups of our students.

If you are running late or cannot make it the day of the field trip, please call or text me (do not message on Facebook as I do not have notifications for it) my cell phone is (240) 460-8862
Ladew is a gorgeous garden, if you have never been, you are in for a treat!

Ladew Gardens is named “One of the Top 5 Gardens in North America,” deemed “the most outstanding topiary garden in America” by the Garden Club of America, and featured as one of “Ten incredible topiary gardens around the world” by Architectural Digest.
Ladew’s 22 acres of gardens feature more than 100 larger-than-life topiary forms which serve as the backbone and centerpiece of the gardens and define a series of garden “rooms” including the Rose, White, Yellow, Sculpture and Iris Gardens. A life-sized Hunt Scene of topiary horses, riders, hounds and fox welcomes visitors as they arrive and stands as one of the best known elements of the Gardens. From the iconic Hunt Scene and the Great Bowl, to the more intimate Yellow Garden, Ladew’s gardens are maintained to the highest horticultural standards and with a dedication to the design intent of Harvey Ladew.

Make a homemade cake for this low-stakes cake show.

Round 1: You'll go around and compliment cakes for their appearance on papers placed in front of the cakes.
