Join us at the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants (CHP) for one of our seasonal plant sales, garden tours, and a tea tasting. We'll have a variety of flowers, trees, shrubs and seeds available for sale. Our knowledgeable nursery staff will be on hand to answer your gardening questions.

This 45-minute guided experience includes first floor spaces in Thomas Jefferson’s home, the West Lawn, and the South Wing. You’ll learn about Jefferson and his vision for America, the realities of slavery on the Monticello plantation, and the mountaintop’s iconic architecture. This popular pass includes access to our gardens, grounds, walking tours, family-friendly activities, and exhibits.

Have you always wanted to go upstairs at Monticello? This exclusive pass takes you behind the scenes: through the first floor of Monticello and up the narrow staircase to explore the private quarters on the second and third floors, including the iconic Dome Room.
