Barbara Roux checks email and sips coffee in her spacious, sparkling white kitchen as dawn breaks one chilly mid-April morning at St. Bride’s Farm near Upperville. Since moving to this area with her husband, David Roux, from Woodside, California six years ago, she’s embraced its rich tradition and history.
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.
