SIGN OUR PETITION

The American Horticultural Society has announced that they are selling the largest remaining privately-held intact pieces of George Washington's estate, historic River Farm.

 

This property has effectively functioned as a public garden park and a location for community events, nature walks, weddings, art shows, and banquets. The development or closure of this property would be a tragedy for Northern Virginia.  

 

The undersigned urge our local, state, and federal elected officials, the American Horticultural Society, park authorities, and our region's conservation groups to collaborate to preserve this important green space for public use.
