Please join The Garden Club of Virginia April 15-22, 2023, for tours throughout Virginia and celebrating 90 years of Historic Garden Week. For one week in April, visitors will tour inspired private landscapes, public gardens and historic sites across Virginia, enjoying our beautiful state at the peak of spring. In addition, more than 1,000 world-class floral arrangements created by Garden Club of Virginia members will enhance tour properties. This beloved statewide event will include 29 unique tours organized and hosted by 48 member clubs located from the foothills of the Shenandoah Valley all the way to the beaches of Tidewater.
In 1929 the first Historic Garden Week was held and the funds were dedicated to restoring the grounds at Kenmore in Fredericksburg. This year we celebrate our 90th Historic Garden Week and the proceeds from the nation’s only statewide house and garden tour continue to fund the restoration and preservation of Virginia’s historic public gardens as well as a research fellowship program in landscape architecture. Many of these restoration sites are on the tour or listed in the Places of Interest section in the guide book for each tour, and are open for tours throughout the year. Go to https://www.vagardenweek.org/ to access the guidebook, view details on all 29 tours, and to order your tickets.
