Hello! The gardens are in full flourish at this hottest time of year. The Green Spring gardeners have once again done an exceptional job creating our gardens. They are a little different each year, and each year they are stunning! The new Moongate garden is now complete and is a serene, calming place to wander when you visit.
I am happy to report that our 2026 Spring Garden Day in May was a huge success, garnering over $29,000 for the gardens! Gratefully, the weather cooperated with a sunny, warm day. We greeted over 2,200 visitors, over 30 vendors and exhibitors, and 2 food trucks! Spring Garden Day would not have been a success without the incredible Green Spring Gardens staff, our dedicated, tireless 64 volunteers, and your FROGS Board members, who helped with everything from organizing, parking, plant check, and plant pick-up to the Bake Sale, just to mention a few.
Lastly, the Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) has contracted to build the Outdoor Classroom/Pavilion behind the Horticulture Center. We expect materials to be received in September. Completion is expected in late fall 2026.
Enjoy the late summer, and we hope to see you in the gardens.
