The Oak Spring Garden Library holds books from vast parts of the globe. You can take a tour of the flora of Australia, China, Brazil and more. There are other volumes that take the focus to a more local scale, like Wildflowers of Georgetown. This work highlights the spring plants found in Georgetown, DC; some of which are in flower right now across the region. Read below to learn more about this latest digital introduction and to hear from our Head of Biodiversity Conservation on why it’s a gem of a resource.
The students at Foxcroft School had the opportunity to visit and learn about the curative power of plants. They dove right in with an informative lecture led by Educational Outreach Director, Ginger Anderson. Several of the students also came in the fall to harvest and process the herbal materials that were used for this class.
After the lecture, the students rolled up their sleeves and crafted their own remedies from scratch. Read the blog for recipes you can make at home.
Last month two of our Garden Team members entered the local Upperville Daffodil Show. It was a winding process to get there but each came away with multiple ribbons!

In honor of National Floral Design Day - a day created to celebrate the artists who work with some of nature’s loveliest materials - we sat down with OSGF flower arranger Kathy Olimpi to chat about crafting with Oak Spring’s bounty of flora, as well as Bunny Mellon’s unique approach to floral design.
Thanks to our dedicated team of gardeners, Oak Spring enjoys four seasons of beauty, color and blooms throughout its grounds. Take a look at the slideshow below to see how our gardens have transformed over the past few autumn months!
