One-Day Events
One-Day Workshops & Special Events
Oak Spring is located in a beautiful section of the Virginia Piedmont, but this site makes for more than just a scenic venue for exciting events; the garden, library, and landscape are rich resources for learning and exploration. We are proud to offer an array of one-day workshops, lectures, and other events for the public to visit Oak Spring and engage with our mission areas. While our Short Courses require an application, these programs are available to anyone who purchases a ticket.
