For more than 90 years, Virginians have been opening their homes and gardens to the public for a week in the spring. From April 17 to 24, garden clubs across Virginia will be providing specialty programming for visitors at historic homes and gardens in an event known as Historic Garden Week.
In Alexandria, this year’s tour, which takes place on April 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be different because of COVID-19. The event will consist only of exteriors. Participants will be given maps and directions for a self-guided walking circuit of more than a dozen homes. Called “A Spring–time Stroll: Doorways of Our Past and Future,” the tour features a variety of floral arrangements and outdoor installations along the route.
