Members of the public will have an opportunity to visit the Virginia Executive Mansion’s Charles Gillette Garden during Historic Garden Week, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced. The garden will be among the many open statewide in honor of the event, which concludes April 30.

“I hope Virginians will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to visit and enjoy Garden Week this Friday,” Youngkin said in a statement. “The Executive Mansion and Charles Gillette garden are true historic treasures.”
