Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, Maryland — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Follow the Scent
In this garden, we are growing herbs—plants valued for their savory, fragrant, or healing properties.
Since the earliest days of civilization, people have cooked with herbs and concocted herbal remedies to treat illness and support good health.
At the Zoo, herbs have another important use: as scent enrichment for animals. Spread throughout a yard, fragrant herbs can entice animals to explore, forage, and behave in other naturally curious ways.
Erected by The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
