SUMMARY:Gloucester/ Mathews Historic Garden Week
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Garden Club of Gloucester and Mathews \nThe beauty and history of Gloucester County abound in its rivers and exquisite shoreline homes. Historic Garden Week in Gloucester\, presented by the Garden Club of Gloucester and Mathews\, includes access to three amazing waterfront properties and the Fine Arts Museum of Gloucester. Visitors will enjoy the warmth and tradition of two homes along the North River\, Exchange (early 1700s) and Blythelea\, as they walk between the grounds taking in the views and gardens. A third home\, Holly Knoll\, was built in grand Georgian style on the York River for the second president of the Tuskegee Institute\, Dr. Robert Moton.  It was designed as a place to gather\, mentor\, and support national civil rights leaders. It received National Historic Landmark designation and now operates as the Gloucester Institute\, a training ground for tomorrow’s African American leaders. \nHistoric Garden Week is the only statewide house and garden tour in the nation and is organized by the Garden Club of Virginia. It offers visitors a chance to tour inspired homes and private landscapes\, public gardens\, and historic sites across Virginia.  In addition\, more than 1\,000 world-class floral arrangements adorn the houses. \nTickets:  vagardenweek.org \nQuestion: gloucester@vagardenweek.org
