点评:Spent a wonderful afternoon walking the beautiful grounds of Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, VA. The gardens have something for everyone. Trails are located throughout the 33-acre park. It’s an outdoor classroom as well as a historic site. For those who are art enthusiast, there are rotating art exhibits in the Horticulture Center and the Historic House. According to its brochure, there are 22 thematic gardens throughout the park. Its Witch Hazel collection of over 200 plants started with a donation of six plants from the Capital Square Garde Club of Annandale. The gardens are well-kept and include a natural native plans garden, gazebo with patio, a greenhouse plant shop, gift shops, historic house and a horticultural reference library. Programs for adults, children, and families focus on horticulture, history and nature through workshops, lectures, and tours. The pathways are paved making walking easier for seniors and for strollers. Two ponds are on the property, but I did not have time to visit them. There are plenty of benches situated around the grounds as well areas to spread a blanket for a picnic. In 2020, the park celebrated its 50th anniversary. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk.
