The Path Forward

Please join us April 17-24, 2021 for tours throughout Virginia

While 2020 tours had to be cancelled due to the global pandemic, the work of the Garden Club of Virginia continues. We’ve been impressed with the generous support of our volunteers, homeowners and advertisers, all of whom are critical to making this springtime tradition a reality. Thank you to everyone helping to ensure this work is possible and encourage our communities to support locally owned businesses. They are our neighbors, our friends, our sponsors - and for non-profit organizations, our lifeblood. View 2020 Historic Garden Week Honor Roll of sponsors.

The Garden Club of Virginia leadership in conjunction with local members are planning to make the 2021 tours a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Gardens are symbols of hope and renewal. They express creativity and provide an opportunity for reflection. For nearly 90 years the Garden Club of Virginia has been celebrating the beauty of Virginia’s landscapes and gardens through this signature event.  And this spring, we won’t disappoint.

Tour proceeds have restored nearly 50 historic public gardens across the commonwealth, provided valuable research fellowships in the area of landscape architecture, and supported the Garden Club of Virginia Centennial project with Virginia State Parks, which provided 54 grants across the state from 2015-2020. Wildflower walks, natural children’s play areas and pollinator habitats are just a few projects made possible through this program.
