Margaret Thomas’ Cool Garden and Tumble-Down Barn

One of Fairfax County’s real treasures is Margaret Thomas’ Garden. I wrote about it a couple of years ago on this post here. We stopped by today to check out all of her beautiful blooming irises, roses and peonies.

One of the original homes on Lawyers Road, this house along with her garden has become a county and national cultural landscape landmark.

This barn is still in use to house containers and gardening materials. It is a favorite subject of painters and photographers in the area.
