Green Spring Gardens (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring/) in Fairfax County, VA., is a "must visit" for
everyone in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. It's a year-round
gold mine of information and inspiration for the home gardener. It's an
outdoor classroom for children and their families to learn about plants and wildlife. It's also a
museum, a
national historic site
that offers glimpses into a long, rich history with colonial origins.
There's something here for everyone: a wooded stream valley with ponds, a
naturalistic native plant garden, over 20 thematic demonstration
gardens, a greenhouse filled with tropicals, and a well-stocked
horticultural reference library. Visit the
Garden Gate Plant Shop
and the two gift shops, where you'll find gift ideas ranging from books
and gardening gloves to china and wind chimes. Green Spring will
educate, inspire, and delight you. The gardens are always changing, so
come back often for new ideas. Be sure to come to the BIG SPRING Plant Sale and Fall Plant Sale.
