The James River provides the backdrop for this year’s Hampton-Newport News Garden Week tour.  The tour’s five properties are located along four miles of Newport News waterfront, with beautiful views and tree-lined roads on the self-driving route.  All five properties are first-timers on the tour, with one house having its own 3-½ acre park! Tour guests hoping to see flower arrangements will not be disappointed.  Members from the Hampton Roads and Huntington Garden Clubs, affiliates of the Garden Club of Virginia, will once again create spectacular flower displays for the houses open on tour. Proceeds from ticket sales fund Garden Club of Virginia’s restoration and preservation of historic gardens and landscapes throughout the Commonwealth, as well as a fellowship program in landscape architecture. Tickets are $45 per person and are sold online only. For ticket and additional information, click here.
