Historic Garden Week in Virginia - April 19-27, 2008

This weekend marks the beginning of this year's Historic Garden Week in Virginia. There are going to be a number of interesting gardens open in Albemarle County, among them Morven; Casa Maria, Ramsay, and other properties in the Greenwood area; and the University of Virginia Grounds and Gardens. I urge you to take advantage of these rare opportunities to see these private homes and gardens up close; Garden Week is usually the only time they are open to the public. Plus, the entrance fees help the garden clubs of Virginia continue the preservation of historic sites around the state.

For more details, check out the Albemarle-Charlottesville schedule.
