HOME AND GARDEN TOUR
CELEBRATES
79TH YEAR
THURSDAY,
APRIL 26, 2012
In April 2012, the Garden Club of Virginia’s Historic Garden Week will celebrate 79 years of preserving Virginia’s heritage. The 2012 tour in Norfolk is presented by the Harborfront Garden Club and the Garden Club of Norfolk. This year’s tour will include the Hermitage Museum and six of Lochhaven neighborhood’s private homes and gardens. Events throughout the day will include house and garden tours, a lecture by Monticello’s Peter Hatch, flower arranging demonstrations, bird watching tours, pottery demonstrations, artists’ open house, and a panel discussion on wetlands. All funds raised benefit the restoration of historic Virginia properties. Locally, the Moses Myers House boasts gardens that have been restored through Historic Garden Week. For further information, including a schedule of events and homes open for each day, please visit: www.norfolkgardentour.org.
