On Sunday, April 20, 2008, Colonial Heights will have its first Garden Tour, featuring homes and gardens in Southern Colonial Heights.  The tour has been named "A Walk Through History" and it celebrates gardens, architecture, history and community. 

Visitors will be welcomed to explore the grounds of Violet Bank Museum, which is the home to the second largest cucumber tree in the Unites States.  As many as 25 homes will be included in this walking tour through the streets of Colonial Heights and will allow visitors to meander through time to an era when the pace was slower and neighbors greeted you by name as you passed their homes.

• Boulevard Flowers, 2100 Ruffin Mill Road, Colonial Heights, VA, (804) 526-4000
