There was SO much to do here! Between the gardens themselves, the beautiful structures, the…read moreplayground area, and the indoor art experiences, we easily spent an entire day exploring. We were also incredibly lucky to visit while the fairy garden installation was happening, which was truly the cherry on top. There were so many little details to discover, and it made the experience feel extra magical. We took our time wandering the grounds, had a picnic at the designated table area, and then spent time in the craft workshop making mermaids to take home as a special memory from our visit. We also loved getting to see the animals--it was such a fun and unexpected surprise! This was one of those places where every time we thought we had seen everything, there was something else to explore. It was such a wonderful experience, and I highly, beyond highly, recommend visiting!

Mt husband & I took a drive down to Solomons for lunch on Memorial Day. I persuaded him to stop at…read moreAnnmarie Gardens so I could check out the sculpture garden, which has been on my list for a while. It was a nice day. There is a welcome hut where they give out maps and collect the suggested $5 donation. We walked some of the woods to view some of the sculptures. Several were very attractive and other pieces were not as striking. There is a fairy garden type play area where a number of kids were running around. We walked through the main arts building. We saw some exhibits and the gift shop. On the whole, it was smaller than I expected, but we did not walk all of the paths. I'm glad we took a look. I would be interested in returning when they have a festival or for the holiday lights.

This is my first time here. I was picked from my local to attend a women's leadership class here…read more I arrived on a Saturday and left on a Friday. I got to meet a lot of other strong minded women. I was told that the place was originally a mansion. We were served breakfast, lunch and dinner by the hard working people. We had our room serviced each day. The place is quite and I had the opportunity to see it snow. How amazing is that. They provide coffee, tea and hot chocolate all day. They have that pebble ice. The have a small gym but enough to get a workout in. They also have a store for you to purchase merchandise swag for our union. I haven't really explored the premises but I'm sure I'll learn more when I go back in May. They have a security (front desk) 24/7

What an awesome event and time to celebrate President Jordan's retirement and Juneteenth. St…read more Mary's College of Maryland holds their annual Mulberry festival which was the vision of President Tuajuanda C. Jordan, every year on the eve of Juneteenth, the day (June 19th) commemorating the emancipation of all enslaved in the United States. Originally created in 2019, the inaugural Mulberry Music Festival featured a gospel theme and featured chart-topping recording artist Jason Nelson. I had no idea and love he's right here in MD leading his congregation. Some of Southern Maryland's favorite food vendors were on site for the festival and it was fun looking at what they had to offer (see pics) Some added mulberry infused treats like mulberry freeze dried candy, mulberry lemonade and mulberry cocktails to their menus. Icy Bites served Italian ice that was prefect for the heat. Calvert Crabs served a mulberry cocktail and you were able to add the Mulberry syrup to your drink of choice. Menu for Heidi's Eats & Sage Treats featured some Korean favorite dishes as well as BBQ bowls. Cousins Maine Lobster Truck was on the building and I was surprised up see them. I did to to them because I'm sure I would have purchased and it wouldn't have been cheap lol. Dumpstaphunk closed out the trio of bands and were great. My cousin heard they were coming to little old St. Mary's county and couldn't believe it. He made us go and we truly enjoyed ourselves dancing the evening away.

They are professionally…read moredisorganized and actively discourage modern safety solutions such as risk prevention and harm reduction strategies (studied & proven methods to create safer college campuses that are used at better schools) in favor of abstinence only education. Weird such a progressive school is so backwards when it comes to the philosophy behind its policy's. Derek Young among countless others maintains this conservative philosophy as an institutionalized barrier against student progress and advancement by holding 5+ positions when he can't even pretend to fill 1 adequately. The school under hires and struggles to keep a work force but 'makes due'. They ignore student issues, skimp on safety measures and pretends that parties don't exist because that looks better on stats when in fact there are parties half the week with no safety or accountability protocols in place. 10/10 a truly beautiful campus with a great student body, but would rather pay out lawsuits then prevent them from happening.

Class prices are reasonable, and are cheaper if you buy a class package for multiple classes. I took a spinning pole class with Kreea. She was an amazing instructor and tailored the class so that it would be challenging for me. Kreea is good at talking you through each move, giving helpful tips, and showing you how to avoid injury. I learned so many new things and got in a great workout! My one piece of advice would be to bring a towel and a water bottle because you will work up a sweat! If you are new to pole, I highly recommend trying a class at Vertical Dance. It's an excellent way to build strength and confidence. I can't wait for the next time I'm back in the area and can attend a class.
