On February 16th & 17th, Ladew Gardens will present our annual Maple Magic, now in its 14th year. Guests of all ages are invited to experience the process of making real maple syrup. An indoor presentation is followed by a nature hike to identify maple trees and demonstration of tapping maple trees, and collection of sap which is boiled down into delicious, amber syrup. End the day with tasty treats of Ladew syrup, maple candy, and a pancake snack!

There are two programs each day: 12 noon and 2 pm (programs last 1½ hr.)

Space is limited. Advance registration is recommended as Maple Magic sells out each year. Register online at www.LadewGardens.com or call 410.557.9570, x 223.

Admission: Adults $12 • Seniors (62+) and Students $10 • Children $6 (ages 3 - 12) • Free for children 2 & under.
