The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is presenting the nationally recognized GardenFest of Lights through January 5, 2025. This year’s theme, Homes & Habitats: A Celebration of Connection, invites visitors to take in millions of lights across the Garden as they explore and celebrate the beauty and importance of interconnected environments, seeing the Gardens reimagined as wetlands, rain-
forests, deserts, grasslands and more.
Highlights include model trains, botanical decorations, a warming fire, dining and shopping; the interactive Children’s Garden and Cochrane Rose Garden; Herbs in the Home; dried botanicals and a brand-new timeline exhibit outlining the Garden’s past. There are special dates for pet-related activities, performances and 12 Days of Dining at the Tea House from December 1 through 12.
Location: 1800 Lakeside Ave., Henrico. For tickets and more information, visit LewisGinter.org.
