Living in Guilford, Baltimore, MD

Although Guilford, Maryland, is primarily a residential neighborhood, there is plenty for visitors and current residents to see and do. The neighborhood is home to several lovely parks and recreational hotspots, including Stony Run Park, Guilford Gateway Park, and the beautiful Sherwood Gardens, starting as a hobby for John Sherwood, a conservationist who was prominent in the area during the 1920s; today, the tulip garden features over 80,000 tulip bulbs. During the spring and summer months, several weddings, family reunions, and a variety of other special events take place at Sherwood Gardens.
