Historic Garden Week in Virginia
We’ve been anticipating this spring event for months! As detailed in the latest issue of The Piedmont Virginian (on newsstands now!), the Garden Club of Virginia has worked hard for over 75 years to restore historic sites and gardens across the state– including the gardens at Montpelier Estate and Morven Park. These historic landscapes flourish across the Piedmont, and Historic Garden Week provides an opportunity for guests to “step through the gates of more than 250 of Virginia’s most beautiful gardens, homes and historic landmarks.” Taking place from April 18-25, “America’s Largest Open House” provides a glimpse into Virginia’s finest properties during their springtime best, when everything is in colorful bloom. For house and garden tours in your area, check in with your local garden club, as the GCV is an association of 47 different area clubs.
