Historic Garden Week – King George County

April 18, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

$40.00 – $50.00

Experience the 90th anniversary of Historic Garden Week in Virginia!   April 18, 2023, will showcase historic King George County. Sponsored by The Garden Club of Virginia “GCV”.  The house and garden tour is the only statewide tour in the United States.  Proceeds from the tour are used for restoration and preservation of historic public gardens, and a landscape architecture fellowship for students.  Additionally, for the Centennial celebration of GCV, a separate financial gift was directed to state parks, of which Caledon was a benefactor.  In 2023, the local area tour will be in historic King George County on April 18, 2023.

Gates to the past open to visitors on this driving tour of one of the most scenic and storied counties in coastal plain Virginia. Meticulously-restored 18th century dwellings and their landscapes combine with graciously-designed modern properties to provide a varied and memorable experience. Ancient out- buildings and boxwood parterres, sweeping terraced gardens, picturesque equestrian amenities, and old churchyards enhance the breathtaking beauty of this Rappahannock Valley tour.
