Because plants are jealous of our ability to live indoors, they attempt to infiltrate our finest mansions and universities by slowly climbing stony façades. Visit a place built specifically to expose these floral strivers with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a household membership (good for two adults and children up to 18 years of age) at the Adkins Arboretum, located in Ridgely (a $75 value).

Adkins Arboretum bestows visitors with 400 acres of scenic views, preserving more than 600 species of native plants and five miles of paths that wind through wildflowers, shrubs, and lush forests. Members get unlimited free admission to embark on self-guided journeys through the arboretum, or to partake in docent-guided habitat walks on Saturdays from April through November, when they can stroll down the Tuckahoe Valley Trail, the native-plant nursery, and more.

About Adkins Arboretum

Since first opening their grounds in 1980, Adkins Arboretum’s 400-acre garden and preserve have sheltered plants native to the mid-Atlantic coastal plain. More than 600 species of them, in fact, encompassing everything from water hemlocks and flowering dogwoods to skunk cabbages. These trees, shrubs, and grasses—not to mention picturesque streams and meadows—line five miles of paths, along which visitors can walk, bike, or even ski. If five miles sounds daunting to youngsters, they can instead explore Paw Paw Playground, an assemblage of wigwams, balance beams, and other toys crafted from natural materials by a local Eagle Scout. Besides its extensive gardens, Adkins Arboretum also plays host to numerous year-round programs, including lectures, art exhibitions, and two plant sales each year.

We live in Ridgely and I did not know anything about the Arboretum really and just assumed it was a nursery to buy plants I read about it on Groupon and wanted to check it out and since we were having houseguests thought it would be a nice outing I bought the 4 adult outing and we went I was pleasantly surprised to see how nice the grounds were with walking trails, benches to sit on, picnic tables, an audio to listen to learn about the various trees and plants and even goats to observe although not to pet It is such a peaceful setting to go for a walk, observe the foliage and different activities offered as meet your interests We bought a family membership at a discounted price through Groupon for a year and have been back several times to go walking and are always greeted by friendly staff and there is a shop there and also coffee and tea to drink for a donation We are looking forward to attending a Christmas caroling party including hayride, bonfire, live music, appetizers and more and are bringing friends and 2 kids with us This is a paying ticketed event We are looking forward to a festive time and meeting new people I definitely recommend it as a place to go

Membership card is not issued upon redemption, but instead will be mailed to you within 2-3 weeks. (So do not plan to go to any other reciprocal arboretum or garden for about a month after Groupon redemption.) This is a very nice gardens with many activities scheduled for this spring and summer, of which I am looking forward to being able to attend a couple of them.
