I traveled over the past week and had the chance to view some of the gardens in Williamsburg and at Monticello. First, at Williamsburg, there was an example of a formal, English-style garden at the Governor's mansion (a lot of boxwood parterres, clipped yew, and topiaries) and some nice cottage gardens behind the more modest residences. At Monticello, the vegetable garden was the star attraction because of its site (what a view on top of the mountain) and its size.
Both Williamsburg and Monticello are out-of-the way garden destinations and are good if you are in the area.
