Nestled amidst the beautiful rolling countryside of Davidsonville, Maryland, Homestead Gardens is the largest enclosed garden center in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas.
Founded in 1973 by Don Riddle, Jr., our landmark nursery boasts the area’s largest selection of annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, landscaping design and build service, outdoor lighting, garden accessories, casual furniture and more!
From our humble beginnings as a roadside stand first selling azaleas, bedding plants, mums and poinsettias, Homestead Gardens has since expanded to become one of the country’s leading garden centers. Homestead Gardens, Severna Park was opened in 2010 and continues to thrive.
We are honored that our store has been recognized as:
