Baltimore Herb Festival 2010

For us this is the official beginning of Summer. Leakin Park is filled with vendors offering plants for sale.
There are lots and lots of people and some great music.
Bluegrass Band Durham Station performed during the event.
And new to Leakin Park this year is the Hopi Labyrinth. This was added as part of three sacred sites that are now a permanent installation, along with the Sacred Magnolia Grove and the Navajo Ceremonial Circle.
I've been reading up on Walking The Labyrinth as a meditaion and this was my first opportunity to do just that. It was interesting to watch adults walking it, some carrying their newly purchased plants with them, then came the children- their only thought was to run through the maze as fast as they possibly could....
