The Vollmer Visitor Center

Hours: Occasional days during spring
Public access may be impacted by private events.

The Vollmer Visitor Center was built utilizing many green building techniques. It features modern solutions to reduce the building’s impact on the environment like composting toilets, a “living” green roof, and geothermal heating and cooling. The composting toilets, which are completely waterless, were the first of their kind in Baltimore City eliminating the need to hook into the sewer system and saving up to 500,000 gallons of freshwater per year. The upper level serves as a visitor orientation space with restrooms. The auditorium, which seats 200 for lectures, has a glass wall overlooking the woodlands and state-of-the-art sound and projection equipment. In addition to being ideal for workshops and meetings, it is available for wedding receptions and other celebrations.

Light mist, cool air, cloudy skies, moist soils, r Light mist, cool air, cloudy skies, moist soils, rainy nights - how perfect has the weather been for new plantings?! 

Each year, our team works to grow and/or source new plant materials for our gardens providing unique visual interests. Planted in the video, Verbascum ‘Southern Charm’, is one of the many new additions to our gardens. While still quite small, this short-lived perennial will grow to a final height of 2 feet tall and feature beautiful spires of pastel-colored flowers ranging from pale pink to creamy yellows. Keep an eye out for it on your next visit to Cylburn Arboretum.

Any new additions to your own gardens? Let us know in the comments!
