Green Spring Gardens

Green Spring Gardens is a must-visit park, a year-round gold mine of information and inspiration for the home gardener. It's an outdoor classroom, a museum, and a national historic site. Its mission is to connect the community to natural and cultural resources through horticulture, education, and stewardship. The 31 acre park has a wooded stream valley with ponds, a naturalistic native plant garden, more than 20 thematic demonstration gardens, a greenhouse, a plant shop, two gift shops, a historic house, and a horticulture reference library. The gardens and educational programs focus on practical landscaping and gardening techniques that are appropriate for the Washington metro area.

The park is operated by the Fairfax County Park Authority with the assistance of nonprofit organizations including GSEMG and the Friends of Green Spring Gardens. Green Spring Gardens is located at 4603 Green Spring Road, Alexandria, VA 22312. For more information, visit the Green Spring Gardens website.
