Oaklawn Garden — Attraction in Germantown

Lovely grounds with a diverse variety of trees, shrubs and bulb plantings. The azaleas,, rhododendron, iris and dogwood make an early Spring visit especially nice. Interesting relics are interspersed throughout the garden. Overall, it's a serene hidden gem worth exploring.

Note there are no paved walkways. While it preserves a lovely feel of wandering through a private estate garden, it will not be quite as easily accessible for strollers or wheelchairs.

Also, it's very difficult to find the entrance the first time - you must cross the parallel railroad tracks to find the small parking lot which isn't very visible...

This vintage park is an absolute jewel. I've lived here for years and didn't know it existed. It looks like only the outdoor part is open now, but it has a bunch of vintage outdoor signs, structures, and art. A house from the 1850's is on site, as well as part if a train. Huge park area to wander thru. Looks amazing in the fall....I can't wait to come back when everything is blooming...

Very nice to finally see this place, even if it was after the ice storm. Not too much damage but little blooming, of course, though I can see the potential. Look forward to coming back later this spring.

Happy to post these recent (4.19.22) photos from the Garden showing the outstanding beauty of the azaleas. Truly a wonderful sight, tucked away in this hidden corner...
