Also on May 11, you may want to go back to Georgetown for its Garden Tour.
And this is definitely worth a drive to Baltimore, for the Fell’s Point Historic Harbor House Tour on May 12.
For a completely different flavor of homes back in DC, check out the Brookland House and Garden Tour on June 2.
And eco-friendly fans will want to check out the Green Home and Garden Tour in Arlington, also on June 2.
Happy touring!
