In my Time Travelers Series, I share some of my favorite historical sites from my travels with my fellow history adventurer, my husband Erin.
Destination: Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia
A trip to Colonial Williamsburg is truly a trip back in time. It's 1774 every day in Williamsburg. As an amateur historian, novelist, gardener and photographer, Colonial Williamsburg is a mecca where I can immerse my senses and indulge all of my hobbies. And lucky for me it's close by!
I'm always drawn to Williamsburg's charming, authentic colonial gardens. All of the plants are plants that would have been found in Virginia in 1774, whether they were native or imported. The ornamental gardens are kept in the style of the times and there are many vegetable gardens, too. These are pictures from my last trip in June of 2009, when the summer gardens were beginning to shine.
