Come out and visit us at the 24th Annual Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival on April 26 and 27. The streets of Old Towne Leesburg get shut down for this weekend event. It makes for a great weekend outing with the family, with activities for the little ones.
The original Leesburg Flower & Garden Festival featured 20 professional landscape designs and about 25 vendors featuring agricultural and landscape products. Since that time, the festival has blossomed into a hugely popular event that regularly draws more than 40,000 in attendance over the two-day event and has been voted “Best Event” in the “Best of Loudoun” poll 16 years running. The Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival has become an annual rite of spring for Loudoun County.
You will not want to miss West Winds Nursery’s award winning garden display. Last year West Winds Nursery won the prestigious Technical Landscape Award. It was the fourth year in a row West Winds Nursery’s garden display has been awarded one of the top three awards.
“We were very proud to receive this recognition last year,” said Philip Klene, the owner of West Winds Nursery.
“It is great to know our efforts in creating memorable landscapes are appreciated by the judges, the public and our customers. Many of our customers stopped by simply to say hello and to see what we came up with this year for the landscape exhibit.”
Set-up for the competition starts at 6 pm on Friday night and will be completed by opening time on April 26 at 10 am. It makes for a very eventfull night for our workers.
