Nestled against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains just west of Middleburg, this year’s Historic Garden Week is scheduled for Sunday, April 24 and Monday, April 25.
The tour, under the auspices of the Garden Club of Virginia and organized in this area by the Fauquier and Loudoun Garden Club, features four spectacular houses and gardens. They’re all located within the 18,000-acre Crooked Run Rural Historic District and the Mosby Heritage Area along the scenic roads among the villages of Middleburg, Upperville, and Paris.

Dustin Aliff finds himself completely consumed with creativity on a daily basis. After spending his working daytime hours repairing antique oriental rugs with his father David at David’s Oriental Rugs in Marshall, he shifts to music, poetry, and painting in the evenings.
As a high school student at Liberty High School in the mid-1990s, Aliff suffered from seizures, fainting spells and terrible migraines. After several hospital visits, he found relief from the same doctor who performed surgery on the late Christopher Reeve.
