Green Spring Gardens is a very pretty and calm place to walk around and enjoy the beauty of nature. We visited in the middle of October to catch the last blooms. I was also very surprised to see many fruit trees like persimmon, cherry, figs and dates. There are also mini gardens where young kids can plant something and learn about gardening. The Gardens are used for photography sessions as well as events. The historic house from the 1800s had displays with a brief history in pictures, but was not too impressive.
Beautiful Park with two ponds where you can see fish, turtles and ducks and Lotus plants. There are many seats where you can rest and also a gazebo. The upper part of the park has an 18th century house that exhibits artwork. It is surrounded by many beautiful gardens. There is a Horticulture Center where you can buy plants and pots and books.
As a portrait photographer based in Ashburn, it's always a treat to have photoshoots here with my families and maternity clients! Its beautiful scenery and diverse landscapes offer a great selection of backdrops for portraits. The grounds are always well kept, and best part is that it's open from sunrise to sunset, allowing for the perfect lighting for my client's photos!
It is a beautiful place. It is not huge so you can take it easy and walk and talk, take some nice pictures and just relax. My wife loved it!
Inside in the back of the main building is a greenhouse with varieties of hanging plants, cacti, and potted plants.
Through the gardens are delightful colors and contrast with a small pond with wildlife, towards one end of the park is a historic home with knowledgeable people to walk through the home's history.
Family friendly, plenty to do, see, and learn.

I'm an Alexandria based wedding photographer and have captured a surprise proposal and an elopement at Green Spring! The garden is lovely! The proposal pictures were taken in April at sunset, while the elopement was in the middle of the day in June. No matter the time or season, Green Springs has gorgeous options for portraits.
The garden is a bit big and has a large hill, so I don't recommend it if you have some difficulty walking.

Beautiful shop! I love going to look. The staff are very nice too.
Gorgeous store with elegant goods.
Great and beautiful decor, prices vary and some great new and vintage pieces. Definitely worth a look!
You won't find a more stunning setting for engagement or couples portraits anywhere in the DMV. And certainly not one so close to downtown DC! Though compact, Green Spring Gardens offers a wildly diverse range of settings for photos. On the "upper" level just inside the entrance are a variety of flowering plants, trees and bushes that make gorgeous backdrops for pictures. There is also a very cool sculpture that your photographers can use to create more innovative portraits for you. Down the hill is arguably the real centerpiece of Green Spring Gardens, though. There you'll find a lovely pond with a charming gazebo that is one of the most romantic spots for engagement portraits imaginable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a photoshoot location with lots of natural beauty!
Unbelievably gorgeous shop. Everything in the store has been curated perfectly for the home, yet it feels so inviting, so relaxed and unpretentious in the most elegant and luxurious way. This is a wonderful place to draw ideas from, and buy items that are impossible to get anywhere else!!!
Green Spring is one of the most beloved parks in Fairfax. The landscaping is extraordinarily gorgeous and the blooming plants are spectacularly beautiful. The well preserved historic house reflects the progress of Fairfax over the centuries. It is surely one of the best places to visit in spring time.
Manse has some really cool products that are carefully curated. A little expensive.
Just a really cool collection of stuff here you can mostly only find online: flamingo estate, trvdon, sabre
Was looking for an antique oyster plate and wondered into the shop by chance. They had exactly what I was looking for and the clerk kindly found a box for me. Can’t wait to browse more when I am not on a shopping mission!
Thanks Andrew! Ordered some chocolate for my mom last minute before her 3 month trip. Andrew put it in Uber carrier for me and text me that it was on its way. Really great dude. Will definitely shop with him again!
Wonderful gift store, with a unique selection of desirable items. The staff was very helpful & beautifully wrapped my gift bag.
