Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is one of the top gardens in the United States, located in Richmond, Virginia, and serves as a vital community resource for horticultural education and environmental stewardship. The organization is currently undergoing significant expansion through its THRIVE campaign, which will double the size of its conservatory to feature four distinct climate zones—Mediterranean, desert, tropical rainforest, and subtropical butterfly habitat—while adding 7 acres of new gardens and Wick Lake for public exploration. Through comprehensive adult and children's programs, public tours, and exhibitions, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden engages thousands of visitors annually in learning about plants, gardening techniques, and ecological conservation. The Garden offers diverse educational opportunities ranging from floral design and birding to bee keeping, making it an accessible destination for community members of all ages seeking to deepen their connection with the natural world.
