late July visit to see how display beds were looking

Always pick up a couple of ideas on new plants to try or different combinations to use. Plants on sale included some varieties I couldn't find elsewhere and at reasonable prices - and for a good cause.

Probably better in-season

I happened to visit these gardens early in April during unseasonably cold and windy weather. There were a few things blooming, but most of the more lush greenery hadn't leafed-out yet. No matter, it was nice to walk around and it's a peaceful place. Recommended.

Great small gem!

Great place in every season! I visit every week being close to my work--Just to see the new plants and flowers, take pictures and just relax. Always are weddings, and photo sessions going on...it is just that beautiful!

What a great garden spot in Alexandria. I have enjoyed this place for many years. It has only gotten better with time. Many of the planting have matured into a nice established garden. The trees and large plants have become a nice canopy for the...More

Beautiful botanical garden in the midst of Alexandria. You will enjoy the walking trails throughout the garden, and the beautiful and well kept flowers and trees. Plenty of parking around the perimeter, this is a must do in Alexandria and it's free!!

Hi...is there an entrance fee? And any info about the historic house that is there?

No entrance fee for the garden. I did not visit the house, but there is good info about it on the Fairfax County parks website. I don't believe that there is an entrance fee for the house.
