Spring in Garrett County arrives with bright blooms and cool mountain breezes. The Mountain Maryland Native Plant Festival brings gardeners, nature lovers, and curious families to New Germany State Park for vendors, resources, and practical ways to support pollinators at home.

Pair the festival with a loop around New Germany Lake or a longer hike into the forested hills, then head back for a relaxed afternoon picnic in the park.
