Helen Avalynne Tawes Garden
Representations of the state’s various geographic areas are featured in this five-acre garden. They include a Western Maryland forest, a streamside environment and an Eastern Shore peninsula. In addition, the barrier-free garden contains pleasant ponds; a raised planter with plants of varied textures, tastes and fragrances; and many cultivated plantings.
Small, traditional cache containing a log book.
Nestled amid state government office buildings that include the headquarters of the Department of Natural Resources, the garden is named in honor of Mrs. J. Millard Tawes, a former first lady of Maryland. She and Governor Tawes were the state’s gracious hosts from 1959-1967.
Prior to construction of the Tawes State Office Building in the early 1970's, the garden site was a flat cinder lot. For many years, it provided a home for the West Annapolis carnival. The garden is open daily from dawn till dusk; admission, guided tours (by reservation) and many programs are free of charge.
In 2013, the garden was accredited by Arbnet Arboretum Program as a Level 1 arboretum.

Update 4/1/15: Maintenance was performed on the cache - no need to abuse container opening/closing as you should be able to just lift and find log. Room for small trade and TBs.
