The Middleburg Garden Club held its annual garden tour Friday, May 26. This has become an annual spring rite of passage as locals open their homes and some of the region’s most amazing gardens for limited public viewing.

One of this year’s venues was just west of Middleburg, where Caroline and Jon Stout hosted an afternoon tea at Shawmark Farm. Middleburg Life was on hand to capture a few images of the garden and the Stouts’ spectacular estate. ML
