| About: | In the 1880s, Lewis Ginter, a wealthy businessman, opened a resort on this land just northwest of Richmond. An avid gardener, he planted and cared for much of the foliage that still thrives in the park today. Upon his death, the property passed to his niece who opened a hospice for children in Ginter's home. She also cultivated the gardens and imported several rare plants. The land is now operated by the city as a botanical garden. Explore the Victorian garden, nature trails and the home, and perhaps stop at the Tea House for lunch. |

User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsGreat Place: When I went I learned about compost making I would have to say this has been a while back.. probably three or four years now. I've long since been making my own compost piles and is working out quite well. Well to get back on subject I went there and learned about that and afterwards you get to walk around(without paying I may add). The gardens were great this was summer when I went. Now they have put in a butterfly solarium and more grounds. It was quite a small place when I went there but quite beautiful. Gotten some great tips on how to garden from the people that volunteer and work there. Some know what there doing but others dont which is why they only dig holes I suspect. If you haven't gone I'd suggest it if your looking for a quiet peaceful place.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsMy future wedding ceremony site...: This place is great. The gardens are beautiful and they have a HUGE conservatory. Really romantic setting. It's really pretty here during the holidays. I will have my future wedding ceremony here.
