Gardens, Views, Historic & Convenient Location
The Howard County Conservancy is a non profit organization focused on Environmental Education and the preservation of natural land. We have 232 acres of forests and fields, including over 5 miles of public hiking trails, that we have protected from development. In 2020 we saw a 70% increase in visitors to our scenic grounds as folks looked for a safe place to unwind and get outside. Our community garden also produced 4,100 pounds of produce which was donated to the Maryland Food Bank. On our property we also have several gardens, a historic barn, and a beautiful event center where we host all sorts of weddings, celebrations, and corporate events. Please view our virtual tour at https://www.howardnature.org/360tour/. Our main rental package includes the use of our event room, the attached deck, and our John L. Clark Native Plant Garden. We also have Theresa's Garden, The Montjoy Barn, and a bridal suite located in our historic farmhouse available as add-ons. As we are a non-profit organization, any and all rental fees go toward supporting the work of the Conservancy, including: the preservation of natural land, education outreach, and even need-based preschool scholarships among so many other things. Thank you so much for considering the Howard County Conservancy to host your special event. Please contact rentals@howardnature.org or call 410-465-8877 with any questions or to schedule a tour. We look forward to hearing from you!
