About the Business
McCrillis Gardens is a hidden gem located in Bethesda, Maryland. This naturalistic garden offers peaceful woodland walks and vibrant colors, especially during the spring season. The five-acre property was generously donated to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 1978 by William and Virginia McCrillis. Managed by Brookside Gardens, McCrillis Gardens is a serene escape tucked away in a residential neighborhood.
Visitors can wander along winding paths lined with a diverse collection of ornamental trees, shrubs, bulbs, groundcovers, and perennials that provide year-round beauty. A pavilion and benches offer tranquil spots to relax and take in the surroundings. With its enchanting atmosphere, McCrillis Gardens feels like a secret garden waiting to be discovered.
Please note that there is no on-site parking at McCrillis House and Gardens. Visitors can park across the street on Renshaw Drive from sunrise to sunset. When visiting, be sure to respect the residential neighbors in the area.

Reviews
"Nice to make walk around area and take photos some flowers that bloom."
"One of my friends invited me to afternoon tea at McCrillis Gardens, which is offered biannually. This venue is affiliated with Brookside Gardens. They don't have parking onsite, but parking is permitted along Renshaw Drive. Upon arriving, check in with the event coordinator. For $50, you get a tour of the gardens (pending the weather) followed by afternoon tea. Our tour guide Sandy was knowledgeable about the history of this venue as well the various plants, shrubs, and trees planted in the garden. The food was supplied by Sweet Simplici-Tea in Sykesville. It consisted of 4 tea bags (Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Green Tea, and Raspberry Pomegranate) with 2% milk, sugar, and honey, 4 tea sandwiches (cucumber and dill, chicken salad, apple cheddar, and turkey), 3 desserts (brownie, lemon square, mini cupcake), and 1 scone with clotted creme and jam (wild blueberry and red raspberry). After the end of afternoon tea, the event coordinator gave us a teabag of our choice and a floral teacup and saucer. It was thoughtful, but my teacup was chipped at the rim, so I'll use it as a decor."
"Awesome as usual! We try to come every year to see everything blooming. Nancy does an amazing job, she is super knowledgeable, and the grounds are well maintained."
"McCrillis is a free, gorgeous, sister garden of Brookside. I try to visit at least twice a year to catch the cascading blooms. They have azaleas, lenten rose, forget-me-not, viburnum, hollies, all-sorts of daffodils, and many exotic flowers and shrubs. My favorites are the fluffy Chinese snowball, toadshade trillium, and Japanese pieris, the smell of which reminds me of childhood. There are several well-placed benchs which allow you to absorb the beautiful sights."
"McCrillis Gardens is such a beautiful location! I've photographed families, couples, and graduation portraits so many times here. The blooms in the spring/summer are soooo gorgeousl. In the fall this places looks as beautiful with all the colorful leaves on the huge trees around and all over the ground. In the winter, it looks perfectly covered in snow. Every season, this place is so unique. I also really love this location because it's quiet and not a lot of people are around. Parking is super easy, you can park in the neighborhood or at the academy across from the garden. It's less than a minute walk."
