Alexandria, VA— Take a behind-the-scenes peek into the spectacular homes and gardens of six historic Old Town Alexandria properties on Saturday, April 20 kicking off the Garden Club of Virginia’s historic annual statewide tour. Offering a glimpse into the town’s storied past, the tour features homes dating from 1785. Expertly updated, tastefully furnished, and filled with spectacular floral arrangements designed by blue ribbon garden club members, each property features lovely, curated gardens filled with Spring flowers bursting into bloom in concert with the tour.
Tickets include admission to five private homes&nbsp;and gardens as well as Lee-Fendall House, a one-time private home with a rich history now houses a museum and garden. This year, Lee-Fendall will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its opening as a house museum and garden. The newly designed garden for the Museum, which incorporated the bones of the 1850s pleasure garden created by the Casenoves, was a Bicentennial Project of the Garden Clubs of Northern Virginia.
Tickets also include&nbsp;six nearby public properties, including: Mount Vernon, River Farm, Carlyle House, Gunston Hall and Green Spring Gardens. Advance tickets are $55 online on February 20 at <a href="https://www.vagardenweek.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.vagardenweek.org</a> and may be purchased tour day at the Alexandria Visitor’s Center located at 221 King Street.
The Garden Club of Virginia’s (GCV) eight-day statewide tour from April 20 to 27 includes 170 private properties throughout Virginia, including stately manors, renovated farmhouses, private homes, and waterfront villas. Proceeds fund restoration and preservation of nearly 50 Virginia historic public gardens. The annual event also funds a historic landscape research fellowship program that is building a comprehensive library documenting the Commonwealth’s important gardens and landscapes. The tour draws approximately 25,000 tourists annually and dates to 1929. 
 The Old Town Alexandria tour is hosted by the GCV’s two local garden clubs, Hunting Creek Garden Club and Garden Club of Alexandria.

About this event
Does everything around you seem to be changing? Is nothing dependable?
The love, goodness, and intelligence of God never change and are always available to everyone.
Hear Lesley Pitts, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker from Plymouth, Massachusetts, discuss this spiritual basis for trust. The more we discover of God’s love and care for us, the more we can confidently turn to this divine presence and find our lives transformed and healed – and our families, communities, and the whole world benefit, too.
Anyone can learn how to lean on God’s goodness.
------
Lesley Pitts, a <a href="https://www.christianscience.com/christian-healing-today/christian-science-practitioners" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">practitioner of Christian Science healing</a> and <a href="https://www.christianscience.com/lecturers/lesley-pitts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">international speaker</a>, believes her unusual career path illustrates the idea that following God’s lead is a more trustworthy foundation for living than relying on society’s expectations or other people’s opinions.
Previously, Lesley served as a <a href="https://www.christianscience.com/christian-healing-today/christian-science-nurses" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Christian Science nurse</a> for more than 30 years, mostly in the United Kingdom. This work brought her to the United States to work in the Christian Science Nursing Activities department at the <a href="https://www.christianscience.com/find-us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Christian Science Church’s world headquarters in Boston</a>, Massachusetts. Later, she was part of the team that established <a href="https://www.marybakereddylibrary.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Mary Baker Eddy Library</a>. Her nursing qualities were put to good use in organizing and caring for its collections — shared with the public for the first time. She served as Executive Manager and President of the Library for six years. Working at the Library and becoming more familiar with Eddy’s remarkable accomplishments as the founder of a religious movement increased Lesley’s desire to better practice Christian Science in her own life and help others through her <a href="https://www.christianscience.com/christian-healing-today/christian-science-practitioners" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">healing practice</a> and lecturing.
