There’s always something in bloom at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, located just minutes north of downtown Richmond. From the orchids inside the magnificent conservatory to the extensive perennial garden, this peaceful destination offers visitors of all ages a serene escape from the rush of city life. Adults will marvel at the fragrant new rose garden (featuring more than 1,800 blooms) while kids will love the interactive Children's Garden, a playful exhibit featuring a wheel-chair accessible tree house, farm garden and international village.
