Your biggest impediment to getting your walk on at Green Spring will be how often you want to stop and snap a photo of your little darling and whatever gorgeous thing you’re passing now. We explored this charming place on a gorgeous spring day. It was idyllic. Be sure to pack sunscreen, and have your camera charged and a blank memory card in the slot- it’ll be getting a workout here!
You’ll find lots of people out enjoying the garden- dog walkers, gardeners, horticulture fans, and families. They also have special events and programs, which you’ll find on their website.

Freedom Coded: Mostly yellow, but red near the water features. Also, some of the bridges have railings that a child could fall through.
