Gardens & Nature

With its four distinct seasons, the Richmond Region is a garden lovers' paradise. You won't want to miss springtime in the Region - from the million tulip blooms at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden to annual Historic Garden Week when some of the area's most gorgeous homes and gardens are opened for public tours.

Maymont, a 100-acre Victorian estate is open year-round for visitors to enjoy the breathtaking gardens and landscapes that took three decades to create. Agecroft Hall and Virginia House are two early 20th-century homes with gardens designed by landscape architect Charles Gillette. And don't forget to take advantage of the Region's thousands of acres of city and county parks.
