About

Add a tour of Thomas Jefferson’s private villa and ornamental gardens to your Historic Garden Week itinerary.
An avid gardener and one of America’s first landscape designers, Jefferson was enthralled with the natural world, recording his ideas for planning and planting the ornamental landscape at Poplar Forest in his letters and journals. The recently completed restorations of Jefferson’s ornamental garden and carriage turnaround were made possible through the generosity of the Garden Club of Virginia. Admission to Poplar Forest is included with your Historic Garden Week ticket.
