The 2023 Roanoke tour offers a magnificent mixture of stately homes and verdant gardens. There are three houses and three gardens to see – all located in a concise loop of the South Roanoke neighborhood. Each home displays gracious living and the latest design trends in elegant vignettes. The outdoor decks, patios, and porches that surround these houses and gardens are abundant with fire pits, potted plants, and dining venues. Gather garden ideas from shade gardens, potted trees, shrub, and perennial choices, and raised vegetable beds. Beehives, a swimming pool, and a plunge pool offer unique elements not to be missed.
