Virginia Historic Garden Week 2016 applauds outdoor looks:
About 30,000 visitors are expected to participate in 34 Virginia Historic Garden Week 2016 tours hosted by 47 member clubs at just under 250 locations from April 23 to April 30, 2016.
The 2016 guidebook, downloadable from the Garden Club of Virginia’s website, begins with the enchanting statement “America’s largest open house is Virginia’s oldest volunteer tourism project.” The Garden Club of Virginia’s 3,400 members continue an 83-year-old volunteer fundraising tradition that dates back to the first statewide tour of 73 properties in 1929. Eight days of five to eight-hour-long tours draw gardens, historic sites and private residences into an event whose total economic impact is projected at $17 million.
A survey conducted by Chmura Economics & Analytics of Richmond, Virginia, estimates the 45-year-impact of Virginia Historic Garden Week at $425 million between 1969 and 2014.

The computer crashed afore I could complete my comment below.
Virginia Historic Garden Week covers different cities and counties daily even as some sites command two opportunities.
For example, Historic Berkeley, Shirley & Westover and Leesburg combine with Albemarle-Charlottesville Sun., Apr 19 and Morven Mon., Apr 20, 2026.
Little Oak Spring combines with Danville-Chatham, Norfolk, Richmond: Westhampton Thurs., Apr 23 and with Kent-Valentine House, Middle Peninsula – King and Queen County, The Virginia Executive Mansion Fri., Apr 24, 2026.
The Garden Club site organizes the Week offerings by such orientations as architecture, garden-lovers, history-lovers, shuttles or trolleys, walking tours and waterfront.
So Virginia Historic Garden Week presents something for everyone!
So I tend towards trekking through Albemarle County, Fairfax County, Harrisonburg, Little Oak Spring, Morven, Richmond: South Gaskins and Roanoke-Salem treasured by garden-lovers!
What about you all?
