Free for anyone to visit it is intended for students and community members to come and relax. It exists to beautify the campus and remind those who visit of the strength our country had coming out of the Great Depression, it serves both of these purposes well. Having visited earlier this week I could not imagine giving the Gardens any lower of a rating. It ties the campus together and is an integral part of the William and Mary that exists today.

When we walked inside we sat in a room waiting for the tour to begin at noon. AnnMarie told us how it burned to the ground, and skeptics were not sure how to rebuild. But they found pictures of it outside and inside among papers in England and Thomas Jefferson's papers in America. This is truly a beautiful building inside and out. After seeing the butler's pantry, the parlor, the bedrooms & salon, and the dining room, we walked the grounds before moving on to the next historical landmark.

. As someone who's…read morebeen coming to Colonial Williamsburg for years, I can honestly say the Governor's Palace never loses its charm. The guided tours inside the palace are very well done. They're informative without being stuffy. The docents really know their stuff, and it's impressive to see how well-preserved everything is. The real magic is behind the palace. The gardens are my favorite spot. They are absolutely stunning in every season. Everything is always so neatly kept, and the atmosphere is calm and peaceful. I love wandering the paths and taking in the different views. At the end of the garden, the hedge maze is such a fun surprise. It's always a little adventure finding my way through. Whether you're into history or just looking for a beautiful place to walk, the Governor's Palace is worth the visit. I keep coming back because it always feels special.

Colonial Nursery or Colonial Garden, I've seen both names used to describe this spot on DOG Street…read morebut either way there is only one place like it so if you're inclined, it's not hard to find as it's right across from Bruton Parish Church. From the CW website: "The garden displays many rare and unusual varieties of heirloom vegetables as well as a collection of heirloom roses and fruits. It features a botanic garden of North American and European herbaceous plants and an herb garden with examples of culinary, medicinal, and household herbs used by the colonists." "Get your hands dirty in this garden filled with vegetables and perfumed by heirloom roses and herbs. Garden historians demonstrate 18th-century techniques and encourage guests to explore and ask questions. Meet a gardener and handle the specialty tools used in the 1700s for planting and harvesting crops. Learn about the herbs and vegetables that were commonly grown for food and the flowers that ornamented the landscape." Year round the area is open from 9am-5pm but if you are coming during winter or early spring they won't be selling anything but you can still enter and explore the grounds. Chances are there will be a staff member or two in the garden working on something and they are usually very helpful with any questions.

Phan's Landscaping is by far the best landscaping company I have ever seen and contracted with…read more Their team is always reliable and they just show up and do the work. I know that sounds pretty simple, but we have never had an issue with them showing up and we are 100% confident in their abilities. I have seen them countless times go above and beyond with maintaining my yard (picking up smaller sticks I assumed that most other companies would just ignore, spending the extra minute or two sweeping off the patio of extra leaves, etc.). They also have a wide variety of services that we use them for including: - Mowing - Edging - Trimming of the bushes - Fall Leaf Removal - Winterization of Irrigation And so much more. If you are in the Williamsburg area and need a quality landscaper that you can rely on, I 100% believe in using Phans.

Two brief noteworthy updates about what CW is doing with the Wythe property. As of now they have…read morechanged the format of how you tour the grounds. In the past you were grouped up with maybe twenty others at the entrance then eventually led through the house by a CW employee. Whether this will still be around for next summer remains to be seen but a few of the people at the house said that CW ditched that format for allowing you to roam the grounds/house on your own. Now when you get to the entrance an employee gives you a few pointers then you're off. Inside there is one person on each floor to answer any questions. One of the reasons why I would assume this change occurred would be on account of CW closing the long time home of The Cooper Shop and relocating it to a building in the back of the Wythe House. The change coincided with CW closing several other long time buildings while consolidating some of those operations at the Wythe, Getty and Randolph houses. I like the new self-touring format here as it is less formal and restrictive which is always good. Although hopefully in the future the Coopers are given their own shop again as it seems odd and historically inaccurate to have them at the back of this house. Beautiful house and beautiful grounds. Well worth a visit. (Note that CW ditched the off hours of years prior where the house was only open on certain days or for only 1/2 day. Currently it's open daily from 9-5.)

Self guided tours are on selected days when the house is open for ticketed visitors. Wythe was the signer of the Declarations of Independence & first law professor at College of William & Mary. He was also mentor to Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall and Henry Clay. The residence in the past has had a violinist play at selected times. The rear and gardens are picturesque and perfect for a photo op. An outbuilding houses a basket weaving demonstration. There are other demonstrations in the rear of the property depending on the season. Today Wythe is considered the Father of American jurisprudence. The home was HQ to George Washington September 1781 just prior to seize on Yorktown, Va. A room is transformed to show visitors what this time may have looked like. The George Wythe home is one of the original 88 in Colonial Williamsburg and a favorite of mine for its authenticity.
