Late Winter in the Nation's Capital - A post by Thea McGinnis

Every time I think spring is going to break through, it snows!  School is cancelled.  We sit home, mostly, reading our seed catalogues.  I did get out last week, however, when my best friend from third grade came into town.

We toured two historical homes: Tudor Place( here) and ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_Place) in Georgetown, which is a lovely home with historic connections from George Washington on into the twentieth century.  It also boasts a lovely garden.

Hillwood's cutting garden in late winter - they just turned the soil

The other home was Hillwood, a garden I've featured here (here) before.


Even though it was brisk the day we visited, we couldn't resist a stroll into the gardens. They've turned the dirt on the cutting garden but there's not a lot of action yet...except in the Orchid green houses.







Yowza! Enjoy!  Thea
