Kingsdene Nursery & Garden Center Best of Baltimore 2022

This charming gem of a nursery is in all ways the opposite of a big box shop. For starters, they grow much of their own stock. Small in size, Kingsdene is prized by serious plantspeople, particularly for its selection of trees and shrubs. A small business that distinguishes itself through exceptional customer service, it’s not uncommon for staffers to forage in a dense sea of plants to find the best-looking specimen for their customers. They also stand behind their plants, offering a one-year warranty on many trees and shrubs.

Firelight Hydrangea for Late Summer Color

Incorporate Bird Baths into Your Landscape

Splash Splash, birds taking a bath! Don’t forget our feathered friends during this unbearable heat. Did you know birds don’t sweat. They remove any excessive body heat via respiration. Water is a MUST for them during the hot humid months of Summer. Help the birds with one of our colorful birdbaths, including the always popular granite. A lovely addition to incorporate into your landscape! And birds taking a bath are always fun to watch 😊.
