So even if you miss the ones in Washington DC, you will still have a chance to see the cherry blossoms in Maryland.

How Long Does Peak Bloom Last in Maryland

Maryland cherry blossom peak bloom usually lasts around 2 weeks.  The peak bloom period is heavily weather dependent.

Because Maryland cherry blossoms tend to bloom later than in Washington DC, it’s usually the warm weather that makes the petals fall rather than rain or cold.

Agriculture History Farm Park in Maryland

The Agriculture History Farm Park in Montgomery County Maryland has a giant and beautiful weeping cherry blossom tree that blooms around the same time as the cherry blossom in Washington DC.  This farm park is huge and never crowded.  I think the most people I’ve seen here at any give time was about 10!  The tree is right next to the main road of the park and is easy to spot.

It’s especially scenic because it sits on a hill and you have a gorgeous back drop of the farm buildings!

The park is completely free and open from sunrise to sunset!  They do charge a fee for commercial photography so if you want to have a photo session here remember to check their website for more information. Link to the dress I’m wearing in the video here.
