In recent decades, it used to be that vegetables only came from the store for most people. Sure, there were plenty of vegetable gardens tucked in the far corner of peoples backyards in the 1940s and 1950s; however, the number of those gardens rapidly diminished over the decades after that. Now there seems to be a resurgence of planting vegetables in ones yard to provide high quality food for America's dinner tables.
The article 'Traditional Freak Show' documents a remarkable ornamental horticulturist's decision to make a place in amongst all of those ornamental plants in his home garden for peas. Not just any peas of course!
Irvin Etienne, horticulturist at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, blogger, lecturer and national board member of the Perennial Plant Association outlines his decision and implementation in a lively and entertaining fashion in his article that you can access by clicking on the link below!

Parking
Our gardens are free and open to the public. There are some parking lots (read the signs for that parking lot carefully) that are free to park in after 4 pm and before 7 am and on weekends, except on game days and during other special events. There is public parking in four large parking garages at the rate of $3 per hour with a daily maximum of $15. On weekends in the garages, the rate is $3 per hour with a daily maximum rate of $5 per hour. There is a small amount of additional pay parking along some streets.
Navigation around campus is much easier with this interactive campus map. You can look up parking locations and building locations using this map. Use the search tab to bring up the page to search for campus building names, locations and addresses. If you click on a building name on this interactive campus map, a popup window should appear with the address and other details about the building.

General Information about the UMD Arboretum and Botanical Garden
The University of Maryland, the state’s flagship campus, is located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. The American Association of Public Gardens, by designating the university as an arboretum and botanical garden in 2008, recognized former President C.D. Mote, Jr.’s commitment to becoming a green campus. Maryland is also the first university in the state to be honored as a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation.
The Arboretum and Botanical Garden consists of our entire 1,250 acre College Park, Maryland campus. The Campus collection of over 8,000 trees, garden plantings and nearly 400 acres of undeveloped urban forest is a beautiful reminder of Maryland’s history and a harbinger of Maryland’s future. The university looks at the campus’ green space as a major resource for its educational, research and service missions.

University of Maryland Arboretum Explorer or UMD ABG Explorer (Tree and Shrub Inventory)
You can look up the identity of many trees and shrubs using this interactive campus map: https://maps.umd.edu/abg/. Herbaceous plants and even some small woody plants are not a part of this inventory. It is still a work in progress and we do not consider it a complete or entirely up to date inventory.
Our plant inventory or plant collections database can also be considered a plant database, plant search, plant locator, plant finder, plant collection database, living collections management system, plant records system or plant mapping system for campus plantings.
