Lotus Blossom Festival, Saturday, July 30, 10am – 4pm
- Lotus Blossoms in the Sassafras River
The Mount Harmon Lotus Blossom Festival showcases the plantation’s rare American Lotus in peak bloom and pristine natural surroundings, and includes special nature-inspired activities and exhibitors. The American Lotus, a relative of the water lily and the largest wildflower in the United States, is rare in Maryland and neighboring states, but abundant at Mount Harmon. The blooms are the size of softballs while the leaves are as big a gladiator’s shield. Gorgeous.
Please join us for our 2nd annual Lotus Blossom Festival, Saturday, July 30th from 10am – 4pm, a nature festival for families and people of all ages. This will be a great day to visit Mount Harmon ~ an historic Tidewater plantation and 200-acre nature preserve, and enjoy a wide variety of nature-inspired activities and exhibitors!
