After a brutally cold winter, and chilly early spring, it is so good to see the trees budding and the flowers blossoming– truly the Gods of Gardening are smiling down upon us! So, the warming days and sunny rays welcome “Historic Garden Week in Virginia!”
Every year the Garden Club of Virginia invites the world to come and tour lush gardens and beautiful homes throughout the Commonwealth. This fabulous event dates back to the late 1920’s when the Garden Club of Virginia began raising funds for its’ first restoration project, Kenmore, in Fredericksburg.
Today, 80+ years later, Historic Garden Week in Virginia is thriving! Always scheduled for the last full week of April, it was long ago dubbed America’s “Largest Open House,” featuring splendid sights and sites across the Commonwealth.This year there are 31 tours that will delight you and give you ideas for your own homes and gardens!
The pictures featured here are of some arrangements from past tours.
Here is a link to the Historic Garden Week website! Mark your calendars for tours from April 18 – 25 and go see’um, CARPE DIEM!
