Historic Garden Week – James River Plantations Tour

April 17th, 18th, and 19th, 2021

Open together, three historic properties and a church established in the early 1600s celebrate Historic Garden Week on three consecutive days. A special combo ticket allows access to the extensive grounds, gardens, numerous outbuildings, and first-floor interiors of all sites. All are located between scenic Route 5 and the James River in Charles City, a county with an expansive history over its 400 years, including the indigenous, the indentured, the enslaved, early European settlers, and generations of their descendants. Built in the 1700s by a combination of indentured and enslaved labor, Berkeley, Shirley, and Westover Plantations are Virginia and National Historic Landmarks, working farms, private homes, and living links to our country’s past.

Admission is $50.00 per person. Tickets are timed and limited due to COVID-19 regulations and are only available for purchase at VAGardenWeek.org. Tickets are non-transferable. Please provide the full name of each attendee to each tour for check-in purposes at the online order check-out.
