Garden Week in Virginia

“Historic Garden Week in Virginia”:http://www.vagardenweek.org/generalinfo.htm

bq. Three dozen Historic Garden Week tours present a rich mosaic of some of the country’s finest properties at the peak of Virginia’s springtime color. Sponsored by The Garden Club of Virginia, local events are scheduled from the Atlantic Ocean to the Allegheny Mountains and will span the centuries from the early 17th through the early 21st.

A number of years ago we went with some friends to the “James River Plantations”:http://www.jamesriverplantations.org and to “Colonial Williamsburg”:http://www.history.org/ during this annual event. Lots of otherwise private gardens and homes are opened to the public during what is basically the height of the spring bloom here.
