Spend Some Time Indoors This Weekend
The forecasted warm weather coupled with a slight chance of rain makes the 56th Annual House & Garden Tour the perfect addition to your weekend. Join the Shenandoah-Potomac Garden Council this Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm at seven historic and unique properties throughout the region.
Docents from area garden clubs will guide guests through homes and gardens, describing the architecture, furnishings and plantings, as well as genealogical information or historical events that may have taken place on the grounds or within the walls. Tours are scheduled at the end of April in order to capture spring's beauty at its peak.
For more information about the House & Garden Tour, visit www.Shenandoah-PotomacGardenCouncil.org.
