As fans of great architecture, we are always excited to check out local designers.  Bucks County has an amazing variety of great homes and gardens.  If you've lived here for any number of years, you may have heard about something called the Bucks County Designer House & Gardens.  Interested in architecture or interior/landscape design? — You will definitely want to know more about this great initiative!  (We went to the Designer House last year and it was absolutely incredible.)

The Bucks County Designer House & Gardens is a non-profit fundraiser run by Village Improvement Association of Doylestown (V.I.A) to support the Doylestown Hospital and V.I.A. Community Projects (According to their website, the V.I.A. is the only women's club in the country to own and operate a community hospital).  The first Designer House was shown in 1971, and the event has been held annually in the Spring since 1978.  The details for the fundraiser are managed entirely by the 60-member Designer House Committee. The team works nearly year-round to ensure that the event is always a success.

So how does this fundraiser work exactly?  The event is based around a spacious Bucks County home that is made available by its owner to the Designer House Committee. Once selected, the home is completely redecorated by interior designers and landscapers.  Once the work is finished, the home is opened for four weeks to the public for tours.  The houses typically draw between 8,000 and 10,000 people from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, and Maryland.  It has become a yearly highlight for locals and a fantastic fundraiser for the V.I.A.  The next Designer House & Gardens will be open from May 6th – June 3rd at 3864 Spring Valley Rd, Furlong, PA.
