Welcome to Whipps Garden Cemetery

The Whipps Garden Cemetery educates and inspires Howard County residents to preserve old cemeteries as a small community park, showcasing local history and culture in the style of the famous garden cemeteries of the 19th century. At the Whipps Garden Cemetery, Howard County Master Gardeners and community volunteers plant and maintain heritage and native species in a variety of different settings, interspersed by pathways, benches and angels around the tombstones. Many plants are typical of those grown in Maryland gardens of the 1800s.
