Were just weeks away from breaking ground on the biggest project
undertaken at Brookside Gardens in 18 years, and I must admit, I have
butteries in my tummy! While our new entrance, driveway and parking lot
are grounded in technical details of engineering, planning and architecture,
what excites me most are the plants! I am a plant nerd, after all. And with this
major garden renewal comes the opportunity to expand our living collections
of trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and seasonal displays. Staff has designed
exciting new landscapes that will complement the Brookside feeling we
all know and love, borrowing design elements like the local Carderock stone
quarried in Potomac, mixed borders of conifers accented by owering trees,
and containers full of exuberant tropical annuals. Our collection of native
trees, like unusual oak species, will be enhanced, as will other species like
magnolias. Well also be testing more tender species than weve grown in
the past, like Edgeworthia, Daphne and Camellia. And in some areas, well be
showing the best way to use plants to manage stormwater beautifully, right
on our own property. So while were under construction, just think about the
glorious new garden that is to come; its denitely going to be worth the wait!
Happy Gardening,
Stephanie Oberle
Director, Brookside Gardens
Hours of operation listed below may change due to
HVAC installation and parking lot renovation. Please call 301-962-1400 or visit
BrooksideGardens.org for construction updates.
PLEASE
NOTE:
B
rookside Gardens is experiencing a wonderful
metamorphosis as we break ground on Phase I and II
of our Master Plan and make other improvements. Though
the construction will focus on a limited section of the
Gardens, the changes will be transformative!
Gude Garden Restoration
The ponds and dams located in the Gude Garden have
been repaired and restored to their original beauty
and function. Though the project was a bit messy, as
dredging always is, the result will be a beautiful landscape
with shimmering ponds that offer a healthy aquatic
environment for both plants and wildlife. Final touches are
scheduled to be completed this spring.
New HVAC in Visitors Center
In the spring, the heating and cooling systems in the
Visitors Center will be replaced, providing an improved
system that will make the Visitors Center comfortable
for visitors and staff. The new system will require less
energy, thus saving money and reducing impact on the
environment. Brookside Gardens hopes to apply for
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
certication in the future, and this step will move us closer
to that ambitious goal.
As a result of this construction, the Visitors Center may be
closed to visitors for a period of six to eight weeks. Access
to restroom facilities will be available at the Conservatory
and the portable toilet located outside the Visitors Center.
New Entrance and Parking Lot Renovation
Phase I and II of the Master Plan address the design of the
1800 Glenallan Avenue entrance and the parking area. This
complex project will break ground in February 2014, and
will result in a complete transformation of the entrance
distinguishing it as the primary entrance to the Gardens
and adding spaces and design features in and around the
A Garden Metamorphosis
Brookside Gardens Xperience SpringSummer 2014 1
With compromised parking, we
have adjusted our educational
programming. We will offer smaller
classroom programs, providing an
intimate experience for students.
Workshops will result in take-
home items that are small and
lightweight, for easy transport
to vehicles that might be parked
a distance away. The annual
Green Matters Symposium will be
relocated to the Manor Country
Club in Rockville. The third annual
Private Garden Tour will proceed
this spring, as all the gardens are
located off-site, and summer camps
will run as scheduled. Art exhibits
on display in the Visitors Center
will be accessible when the building
is open.
In addition, several events
sponsored by the Friends of
Brookside Gardens will occur:
Orchid Sale, March 15 & 16,
Behnkes Garden Center,
Beltsville, Maryland
Fall Plant Sale, September 13,
Brookside Gardens Hoop House
(located on the maintenance hill)
Holiday Greens Sale, December 6,
Brookside Gardens Visitors Center
Atrium
We have made the difcult
decision to cancel a number of
larger events in 2014, including:
Earth Day Festival
St. Patricks Day Scavenger Hunt
Wings of Fancy Live Butterfy and
Caterpillar Exhibit
Native Plant Sale
Spring and Fall Lecture Series
Summer Twilight Concert Series
Many plant shows and sales
Childrens Day
Pumpkin Panache Family Festival
The current construction schedule
has the parking lot available for
vehicles in time for the Garden
of Lights exhibit in November
2014. Please check the Program
Guide in this publication for more
information about our offerings in
the upcoming months.
Though we know construction
will present challenges over the
next year, we look forward to the
beautiful and improved facilities
that will be available to our visitors.
We thank you, in advance, for
your patience during this time of
transition and for your generous
support of Brookside Gardens and
this important project.
Programming affected by construction
parking area. Countless improvements will result from the
project, including:
n A more attractive and efcient entrance at the
intersection of Glenallan Avenue and Heurich Road, with
a safer, dedicated pedestrian walkway
n Lovely, original artwork announcing the entrance into a
very special landscape
n A new boardwalk meandering through a magnolia grove
and other new landscape areas prior to reaching the
Visitors Center
n A parking garden with appealing plantings (including a
diversity of new trees!) and additional parking spaces
n A courtyard for safe drop-off and pick-up of passengers
at the Visitors Center
n A new Aquatic Overlook (north of the Visitors Center)
with previously inaccessible views of the Aquatic Garden
n The new South Terrace (outside the Visitors Center
Atrium) a charming resting place for intimate
conversation, plus small classes and events
n A Water Garden featuring a design that will treat
stormwater runoff
These are only a sampling of the many improvements
that will result from the construction project, which is
estimated to be complete in June 2015.
Parking Alternatives
Despite the construction, the Gardens will remain open
to visitors, and the landscapes and displays will be as
lovely as they always have been. For your convenience, we
ask that you plan your trip in advance when visiting the
Gardens. You might consider visiting on days and times
that traditionally attract lower attendance, like weekdays,
evenings and days that are not holidays. We acknowledge
that parking will be a challenge and suggest carpooling and
the following alternatives:
Brookside Gardens Conservatory parking lot (1500
Glenallan Avenue) There are 39 parking spaces in this
lot with two accessible spaces available. The Visitors
Center is approximately an eight-minute walk from the
Conservatory. Restrooms, water fountains, and a gift shop
are all available at the Conservatory.
Wheaton Regional Park (Shoreeld parking area off
Georgia Avenue) This is a large parking lot with a
path that leads through the Park to the Gude Garden
pedestrian entrance at the Gardens (about a ten-minute
walk). You may plan to ride the carousel and/or train in
the Park before or after your visit to the Gardens (visit
MontgomeryParks.org for hours of operation). There are
also several picnic tables in the Park available for a fun
outdoor meal incorporated into your visit. And dont be
surprised if children want to make a stop at the newly
renovated playground, which you will pass during your
walk to the Gardens.

Metro
Station
Kemp Mill Road (street parking) Kemp Mill Road is a wide
street with ample space for street parking. Follow the
Equestrian Trail Loop entering from Kemp Mill just south of
Glenallan Avenue, to the Oak Ridge Trail, which brings you
to Brookside Nature Center. The path is a natural surface
horse trail that meanders through a wooded area almost
parallel to Glenallan Avenue; the walk will take about ten
minutes. Though the Nature Center parking lot will be in
use for programming, you may walk through the property
by entering the parking area and walking to the end of the
parking lot. Here you may enter the Gardens through a
pedestrian gate that brings you to a boardwalk along which
a variety of native plants are featured. The Conservatory is
only steps from the end of the boardwalk.
Glenmont Metro Station The Glenmont Metro Station
(on the Red Line) is located at the intersection of Glenallan
Avenue and Georgia Avenue, about a 15-minute walk to the
Gardens. There is also a Ride On bus (Route 31) that stops
at the intersection of Randolph Road and Heurich Road
(on the corner with Glenallan Elementary School). A ve-
minute walk down Heurich will bring you to the Gardens.
Though the vehicle entrance at 1800 Glenallan Avenue will
be closed during construction, the pedestrian entrance
at this location will remain open for a portion of the
construction schedule. As the project progresses, signs
will be posted on-site and information will be available
on the Gardens website and Facebook page listing any
additional closings.
We need your support!
The Montgomery Parks
Foundation is working closely
with staff at the Gardens to
enhance the Master Plan project
with features such as a beautiful
metal-sculptured Ginkgo Canopy,
an Aquatic Garden Overlook,
and an entrance sign boldly
announcing the Gardens, plus
much more! In addition, there
will be several opportunities for
tribute benches associated with
the project.
None of these artistic features
will be possible without
YOU! Through namings and
dedications gifts large and
small to the Montgomery Parks
Foundation we look forward
to renewing the Gardens for the
enjoyment of almost half
a million annual visitors.
We will be honored to
acknowledge gifts of more than
$500 in support of this project on
an electronic donor screen located
in the Visitors Center. Gifts greater
than $1,000 will be acknowledged
with engraved paving stones in
the new entrance walkway to
the Gardens. The Montgomery
Parks Foundation and Brookside
Gardens wants everyone to know
and appreciate your generosity!
