Historic Garden Week Albemarle-Charlottesville Tour
About the Event
With sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Albemarle-Charlottesville tour showcases three different properties in Free Union. This self-driving tour includes a property with beautifully structured gardens, paths, and an orchard on tour for the first time. The second property is the Ballard-Maupin House, an exquisitely restored late 18th-century farmhouse nestled against a tree-lined pond. Third is Waterperry Farm, a 19th-century estate transformed into an expansive botanical garden boasting several lush garden rooms with water features, sculpture, and a greenhouse. Visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes since properties are extensive and will require lots of walking.
