Each year, throughout the state of Virginia, several homes and gardens are open for tours. Houses in Richmond's historic neighborhoods are featured, many of which are private residences. Other gardens have included those at Maymont and Agecroft, and many of the James River plantations not far from the city. The focus is primarily on the different types of gardens, from formal to themed, but there are tours of many of the homes as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |
