FESTIVAL MAP INSIDE ON PAGES 8 & 9
Flower & Garden Festival Returns Downtown For three decades Leesburg’s annual Flower & Garden Festival has performed double duty as Loudoun’s premier celebration of spring’s arrival and its largest tourism event. After the pandemic forced the cancelation of the festival in 2020 and a scaled-down version last year, the town’s Parks and Recreation Department is busy preparing to welcome its typical crowd of 20,000 to 30,000 visitors to the downtown historic district April 23-24. More than 125 vendors will fill the streets with seasonal blooms, herbs,
gardening supplies, outdoor furniture, and more. In addition to the exhibits, festival goers can enjoy music, entertainment and activities for the kids, a rooftop beer garden, and festival foods. Guests also will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite landscape display in the People’s Choice Landscape Competition. Ballots can be picked up at the information gazebo at the heart of the festival grid or at each landscaper’s display. Completed ballots should be placed in the birdhouse at the gazebo by noon on Sunday so that the winner can
be announced that afternoon. Portions of King, Market, and Cornwall Streets will be closed for the event, however parking will be available in the Town Hall parking garage using the Loudoun Street entrance. Additional parking will be available throughout downtown and a free shuttle service, from Ida Lee Park, will run continuously throughout the day. The Flower & Garden Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, rain or shine. Pets are not permitted. This year’s presenting sponsor is
Loudoun Medical Group. Other festival sponsors include C2 Operations, Country Buick GMC, Heartland Foods, Kitchen Saver, LeafGuard, Loudoun Now, McLean Mortgage Corporation, Mountcastle Medical Spa and Laser Center, Polaris Financial Strategies Group, Power Home Remodeling, Washington Gardener and Wegmans Food Markets, Inc.

THE MANY BENEFITS OF TREES Have you ever thought about the real values and the many benefits of trees? Did you know that trees … • Store carbon, generate oxygen and help clean our air. • Improve the health of a watershed by dispersing rainfall, controlling stormwater, and reducing soil erosion. • Reduce home energy use, by providing shade in the summer and creating windbreaks in the winter – especially when strategically placed. • Increase property values with proper placement and landscaping design. • Create natural habitat and share their fruits, nuts, seeds, and pollen with wildlife. • Provide sources of food, job opportunities and building materials for humans.
Trees are indeed one of our most valuable natural resources as they are beautiful and bountiful. Trees play a very important role in any community. Preserving natural tree canopy in a community with proper tree plantings in urban landscapes benefit all. This valuable tree care information has been brought to you as a public service by Loudoun Now and Town of Leesburg Tree Commission.

Waterfalls, pergolas, fire pits and flora in all colors are among the highlights landscapers use to design the elaborate displays that anchor the Flower and Garden Festival.
APRIL 14, 2022
2022 LEESBURG FLOWER & GARDEN
The People’s Choice Award A hallmark of the Flower and Garden Festival is the landscaper competition in which designers create displays that transform small vender lots into unique garden spaces. The designers spend long hours overnight assembling their creations to be ready for the Saturday morning opening. Each texture, color, flower, shrub and tree is chosen for a particular role and offer a glimpse of the transformations possible even in the tiniest backyard. The People’s Choice Award is voted on by event guests by placing a ballot in the birdhouse located at the gazebo at the heart of the festival grounds. Votes are accepted until noon on Sunday, then tallied for the award to be presented at 1:20 p.m. Sunday on the main entertainment stage in front of the courthouse.
