 Chapel Square Garden Club of Annandale
National Capital Area Garden Clubs, District II
HISTORIC GARDEN WEEK in Virginia is America’s oldest and largest house and garden tour program. The Garden Week tours benefit the restoration of historic gardens and grounds throughout the Commonwealth. More than three dozen sites have received funding for restoration projects.
On APRIL 21, 2009, the Chapel Square Garden Club will be sponsoring a trip to Fredericksburg, Va., to tour the Westmont subdivision in Fredericksburg. Westmont is described as Fredericksburg’s first "subdivision"; it is a secluded , lushly wooded neighborhood in the middle of the city. It sits on land containing Confederate works built after the battle of Fredericksburg. The hollows, where the Confederate works were situated, can still be glimpsed to the left of 1715 Highland Road. The Westmont tour features a home built in the ‘40’s, several from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s and even one built in 2004. The gardens are all very unique and feature lots of mature specimens.
The cost for the trip is $85.00. This includes tickets for the homes and gardens, a Garden Week Book, a brochure describing the homes on the tour, lunch and snacks (served on the bus).
This is a walking tour. Please remember to wear appropriate flat-heeled shoes. We will be going rain or shine. RESERVATIONS FOR THE TOUR MUST BE MADE
BY MARCH 9, 2009
Everyone has enjoyed previous Garden Tour trips and we hope that you will join us!

CHAPEL SQUARE GARDEN CLUB OF ANNANDALE
CELEBRATES 40th ANNIVERSARY Chapel Square Garden Club of Annandale celebrated their 40th anniversary on
Thursday, June 7th at the Belle Haven Country Club. The luncheon was attended by forty two members and guests, including incoming National Capital Area Garden Club District II Director, Evalee Ciuca and outgoing District II Director, Barbara McClendon. There were 15 former Chapel Square Garden Club presidents in attendance, including their first president in 1967, Virginia Colligan, who currently resides in Toano, Virginia. Lunch included a very special “Chef’s Surprise” dessert especially designed for the event. It consisted of flourless chocolate cake served in a clay flowerpot topped with fresh berries and edible flowers.
The Chapel Square Garden Club was established in 1967 in order to promote gardening activities within the community. They are members of the National Capital Area Garden Club District II, as well as the National Garden Clubs, Inc., Central Atlantic Region. Some memorable contributions made by the club include donating stained glass windows and pews to historic Wakefield Chapel (1899) located in Annandale, as well as a stepping stone donated to the Butterfly Garden at the National Botanical Garden in Washington, DC.
