With the introduction of
Colonial Williamsburg in 1926 came the eventual layout of the beautiful and moving
Colonial Williamsburg Gardens that now cover the area with natural beauty. Much of the gardens' styles come from the Dutch Renaissance styles, offering unique glimpses of Dutch-influenced gardens from Holland and England. In total, there are 90 acres of gardens, offering an enormous variety of garden species to those who take the time to stroll through these hidden havens.
Of all the gardens located in Colonial Williamsburg, the gardens of the Governor's Palace are certainly some of the most popular, but far from the only sights of horticulture you'll find in the Colonial area. Roughly 25 gardens smaller than, but certainly not of a lower quality than, the gardens of the Governor's Palace are open to the public depending on the season, and roughly another 75 private gardens are available to be viewed by appointment. Whether you're looking for a moving sight or some new ideas for your own garden creation, a visit to the gardens of Colonial Williamsburg is sure to offer up a pleasant time in Williamsburg, VA.
