Williamsburg Gardens
Colonial Williamsburg holds its 66th Annual Garden Symposium, "Beautiful Gardens: Bountiful Options," on Sunday and Monday, April 15-16, featuring guest speakers and Colonial Williamsburg landscape staff offering tips and ideas to help you make the best use of your garden time and space. Colonial Williamsburg also offers a number of spring garden programs to showcase its flower and boxwood gardens.
Springtime is planting time in fields and gardens at Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Victory Center, where crops, vegetables and herbs - types grown in the 17th and 18th centuries - are cultivated. Corn, tobacco, and dozens of varieties of vegetables and herbs are planted in the early spring, and visitors of all ages can assist in turning earth, watering and weeding.
Discover the natural beauty along the scenic Colonial Parkway, a National Byway, and at Historic Jamestowne and Yorktown Battlefield during National Park Week, April 21-29, 2012. Free admission to Historic Jamestowne and Yorktown Battlefield, and National Parks and other Federal sites throughout the country.
At Busch Gardens, explore more than 30,000 plants and flowers that decorate the theme park and visit its Habitat Garden near Jack Hanna's Wild Reserve, developed by the Busch Gardens' landscaping team and National Wildlife Federation to illustrate the basic needs for the survival of wildlife.
