Reviews
We had our dream wedding here. Loved everything about this space!! It was unique, beautiful, spacious and so much nature.
I liked that there was an outdoor and indoor space the guests were able to go. Grace was our point of contact for the venue, and from the start she was so nice, helpful and very responsive. We love that it's also a place we can revisit and build future memories.

This is a place you must see for a casual afternoon or a formal affair. I attended a formal garden wedding late afternoon that was so beautiful. Finger food served in the garden and main meal served in the building. If you are getting married you need to book this place well in advance.
A beautiful place to see the natural diversity available in Howard County and the Mid-Atlantic habitat. Several miles of trails, areas for kids to play and learn about nature, different habitats, and working to preserve green spaces in an area that is seeing its green spaces disappear. Worth a visit and preserving
The Howard County Conservancy is a real treasure. Just walk around and enjoy -- I love coming here for the sense of Big Sky, like you would get farther west in the US. It's also a great place for watching birds and butterflies and other wildlife. I can't cover the whole place in one visit and enjoy coming back regularly in every season.

The grounds are gorgeous. Never know you were in a densely populated area. Lots of trails, beautiful Barn,and the facilities are outstanding. Staff is delightful and really knows their stuff. There are Master Gardeners and nice fields and a good place to hold a reception. enjoy.
This sis a lovely place to visit to watch the day come to a close. The sunset are spectacularly awesome!!
Then there is the walking trails, the beautiful gardens and waterfalls.
It's also very rich in history and it has a great nature's center. We are just exploring all it has to offer, so we'll update you as we find more.
Absolutely wonderful! Great free programs, amazing summer camp, schools out programs, and they have a nature preschool now! Lots of resident animals that are excited to meet you. Over 200 acres and 3 miles of trails! Staff are friendly and helpful always. Also a great venue for weddings or events!
Great place to bring your kids or even yourself to walk the trails, check out the beaver dam, stare at the goats, or see the owls. There's an education center there with information and kids classes. I was there most recently on Columbus Day/Indigenous Ppl Day and they're appeared to be hosting a camp for kids since HoCo schools were closed.
