Lynchburg Garden Day at Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest

Add a tour of Thomas Jefferson’s private villa and ornamental gardens to your Lynchburg Garden Day itinerary. An avid gardener and one of America’s first landscape designers, Jefferson was enthralled with the natural world, recording his ideas for planning and planting the ornamental landscape at Poplar Forest in his letters and journals. The recently completed restorations of Jefferson’s ornamental garden and carriage turnaround were made possible through the generosity of the Garden Club of Virginia. Although not an official stop on the Garden Day tour this year, admission to Poplar Forest is included with your Lynchburg Garden Day ticket. Add a docent -guided tour (as available) or an app-guided tour to your itinerary.

*Note: Garden Day Tickets can only be used on April 23rd, 2024 to tour Poplar Forest.
