To date, the MWPT has planted and maintained over 40 public gardens in Mount Washington, and it does so with the largest volunteer effort of its kind in the greater Baltimore area. The largest of these gardens, the Mount Washington Arboretum, is open to the public for all to enjoy from sunrise to sunset.
