About The Tour
Each "tour" during Garden Week encompasses a certain neighborhood or town; the tour each year also produces a guidebook with the history of the properties on the tour. The emblem of Garden Week are green and white signs with arrows that are the put up across the Commonwealth of Virginia in preparation for the tours. The history of the Garden Club of Virginia and Historic Garden Week is detailed in Christine Hale Martin's book, "Follow the Green Arrow." Each year, the Governor of Virginia writes the foreword to the Garden Week handbook.
