My Favorite Springtime Scamper
​
Virginia Garden Week
April 23-30

My bags are packed and I'm set to go.  This is without a doubt one of my favorite events of the year. 
"Each spring visitors are welcomed to over 250 of Virginia's most beautiful gardens, homes and historic landmarks during "America's Largest Open House." This 8-day statewide event provides visitors a unique opportunity to see unforgettable gardens at their peak, as well as beautiful houses sparkling with over 2,000 flower arrangements created by Garden Club of Virginia members."
Click here for tour information and details.  Virginia Garden Week.


This year I'll be splitting my tour with a quick stop back in the shop in the middle of the week.

Old Town Alexandria
Saturday 23rd

If you only have a day to spare, this tour is an easy day trip from Wilmington. Leave a little extra time to explore Old Town's many shops and eateries after you tour the historic homes and city gardens.

These are not your usual florists' arrangements.
