Our Guide to Virginia’s Historic Garden Week

One of the private residencies open to viewing during the Leesburg tours.

As the flowers bloom and the birds sing, we know spring is upon us. While everyone is wondering how to spend their warmer days, we already know that we’ll be relaxing at the Garden Club of Virginia’s Historic Garden Week. Hosted across numerous locations throughout the state, from April 27th until May 4th, some of our favorites reside within our own Hunt Country. Tour ticket prices vary by location, but discounted tickets may be purchased in advance online at the Historic Garden Week website. 

The Winsor House of Little Washington

Kick off your Historic Garden Week at the Winsor House, nestled in the heart of Little Washington. Deborah Winsor, of August Georges, opens her home to the garden tour on April 27th. This tour of Little Washington begins at 10 o’clock a.m., and concludes at 5 o’clock p.m. Once you’ve gotten your fill of florals, take a quick excursion through the countryside to Wild Roots Apothecary. Treat yourself to our favorite locally-sourced and natural tonics, soaps, and other various products that always leave us feeling calmed and refreshed.

Countryside Fare and Ambience 

To wrap up a long day of trekking through the countryside, reserve a table (or room) at Glen Gordon Manor, of Huntly. Overlooking the picturesque Shenandoah National Park, dinner here seems like a naturally-perfect ending to your day exploring Hunt Country. 

A view of the historic Oatlands Manor and Grounds.

Prestige and Peonies 

Continue your tour through Hunt Country in Leesburg, with this location’s ticket covering the cost of both days of touring, on April 28th and 29th. On these dates, The Leesburg and Fauquier-Loudoun Garden Clubs host tours to numerous locations, including four private properties and five gardens. On the 28th, tours take place from 1 o’clock to 5 o’clock p.m. The tours of the 29th kick off at 10 o’clock a.m., and conclude at 5 o’clock p.m. These tours are headquartered at the historic, iconic, and stunning Oatlands Carriage House Museum. Take a day, or two, taking in the sights that the Leesburg countryside has to offer. You won’t regret it!

Embrace the Outdoors

Take a break from touring and enjoy the quaint, small-town feel of the Leesburg Historic District. Cowbell Kitchen might just be our favorite spot for lunch, or for a quick treat. We can’t get enough of their pastries! In between tours, enjoy some speciality shopping or take a stroll past The Fine Gallery. Arouse your senses by taking in some of their incredibly unique pieces. And don’t forget about dinner! Although there’s so many delectable choices, we always bring our friends to Tuscorora Mill Restaurant or The Wine Kitchen. 

Blue Ridge Beauty

Conclude your trip of Hunt Country with tours of the rolling hills of Piedmont. On May 1st and 2nd, The Warrenton Garden Club hosts countryside excursions of our region’s mountains and valleys from 10 o’clock a.m. to 5 o’clock p.m. Of all the beautiful gardens and properties, we are most-excited to what Manuel Simpson of EyeManuel, and owner Nicole Stephenson, have done with the Valhalla property. Such tours are headquartered in Old Town, which provides you with easy access to shops, eateries, and other activities, in between tours. Once you finish your day, check out Farm Station Café of Vint Hill, by the incomparable À la Carte.

Leisure at L’Auberge

If you’re looking for a relaxing countryside getaway to commemorate your trip, let your final destination be L’Auberge Provençale, perfectly-situated in White Post. Take advantage of their own manicured gardens, historic rooms, or gourmet picnics. Situated on the outskirt of Hunt Country, away from the bustling towns, you’ll fall in love with L’Auberge as much as we have.
