In 1825 Mrs. Frances Loockerman decided to create a very special boxwood garden behind her mansion on Maryland Avenue. The romantic “box walk” was planted in the shape of a heart. Since 1953, the museum’s many volunteers have made special holiday boxwood creations with all proceeds benefitting the collection and mission of the Hammond-Harwood House. Decorate your home or give a gift to someone with these fresh seasonal offerings.
All are available for preorder. Prices include Maryland State Sale Tax.
Completed greens can be picked up at the Hammond-Harwood House, 19 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21401:
