River Farm Garden Park is nestled on the Potomac in
Alexandria, VA. It is the perfect place
to spend the afternoon having a picnic with your little one! This park is part of the American Hortircultural
Society but is open weekdays to the public, and the grounds are beautiful. The grounds itself offers literature to read
about all of the gardening and different types of local flowers that are grown
there. There is an education office with
people to answer questions and give tours and everything is self-labeled so it
is easy to walk around and enjoy the sites and learn about the gardening that
takes place there. It is all set in a
beautiful, colonial setting.
This is a great place to take your toddler to run around for
a couple hours, or to enjoy a picnic.
There is plenty of climbing areas and manipulatives available. There are also plenty of big and smaller
tables set up just for that beautiful lunch hour in the garden. I went there not really knowing what to
expect and was pleasantly surprised.
There is plenty of nature’s beauty as well as the history. It is very easy to get to, just down the road
from Mount Vernon. These gardens also
make the perfect backdrop for a wedding.
It is such a beautiful and romantic setting overlooking the
Potomac. I would highly suggest checking
out the River Farm and Gardens on a beautiful and sunny day!
