The 2017 Williamsburg Virginia Historic Garden Tour aims to show the area’s colonial side during its garden week tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 25, 2017.

Homes on this nine-property tour span in age from the beginning of the 18th century to a 21st century Colonial Revival.  All are conveniently concentrated in two neighborhoods College Terrace and the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area . Visitors will appreciate interiors that sparkle with floral designs by the Williamsburg Garden Club complementing spectacular antiques and artwork.  Not to be outdone, the gardens of featured properties are prime examples of 18th century to current landscaping styles and include a city farm garden, shade gardens, a school garden, as well as formal and cottage gardens that represent the Williamsburg style.  Start at the William and Mary Alumni house, which serves as tour headquarters, and walk or use the shuttle, which is included in the ticket.  Enjoy lunch or light refreshments offered at the many establishments in Merchant’s Square, Colonial Williamsburg and surrounding area while visiting Williamsburg for Historic Garden Week.
