A few weeks ago we gave you a long list of things to do in Northern Virginia from now until the first of the year.  Lots of festivals and art shows, corn mazes and pumpkin patches.

Today we're going to focus on fall garden tours and workshops.

Fall is a great time to plant and/or start planning for next spring.

Karen, now I am envying your climate! We don't have a beautiful Fall changing of the leaves like you do and I was just talking with a fellow Virginian last night about how we miss seeing the leaves change. Great post on the Fall Garden Tours and Workshops in Northern Virginia.
