The Land Trust of Virginia Garden Party will be held on May 22, 2016 at Orion, the home of Gayden and Robin Parker, in Northern Fauquier County. The estate is nestled in heart of Orange County Hunt territory, with near 180-degree views of rolling hills, pastures and the Blue Ridge from a lovely terrace and garden setting. Join LTV for an afternoon celebrating conservation efforts to save Virginia’s open space, natural resources, and cultural heritage.

The Garden Party will again feature a “wet paint” auction, Painting for Preservation, where artists will create individual and unique artworks from selected locations in the Orion garden. Party guests will be able to bid on these works of art during the party to secure their opportunity to take a canvas home. In addition, there will be a silent auction featuring items from local shops and restaurants for consideration.
