One of our cherished local springtime traditions returns on Saturday, April 17, when Old Town Alexandria welcomes visitors to tour beautifully decorated exteriors and gardens as part of Historic Garden Week in Virginia.This year’s garden tour has proven extremely popular, and tickets are already sold out. But the weekend of April 17 - 18 will be a great time to stroll the streets of Old Town to enjoy the springtime blooms. Exteriors of many homes in the historic district will be decorated with wreaths created by members of the Garden Club of Alexandria and Hunting Creek Garden Club. Please remember your face masks and be sure to social distance as you enjoy the scenery.The Old Town Alexandria tour is part of the Garden Club of Virginia’s statewide Historic Garden Week tour of gardens. Tickets are still available for many tours in other parts of Virginia and can be purchased through the following link:  https://www.vagardenweek.org/main/tickets.These tours are for a great cause - Historic Garden Week has raised millions of dollars to fund projects across Virginia, including conservation and restoration efforts at Mount Vernon, Stratford Hall, and The College of William & Mary.
