Virginia's Historic Garden Week is a wonderful opportunity to take in some of the region's most remarkable, luxe gardens. Historic Garden Week is an 83-year-old event that bills itself as "America's largest open house" and crisscrosses the state, from the tony, equestrian enclaves ringing Washington DC to the Chesapeake Bay. One of our favorite: Jewelry designer Elizabeth Locke's gorgeous 1816 Federal-style home in Millwood features a breathtaking 19th century-style glass conservatory that houses her orchids and palms.
