Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden offers year-round beauty on a historic property with more than 50 acres of spectacular gardens, dining, and shopping. A classical domed Conservatory is the only one of its kind in the mid-Atlantic. More than a dozen themed gardens include a Children’s Garden, Rose Garden, Asian Valley and Cherry Tree Walk.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden celebrates the diversity of all people, just as we honor the diversity of plants and ecosystems in our world. We invite and welcome people of all abilities, backgrounds, races, religions, ages, cultures, genders, and sexual identities as visitors, members, partners, volunteers and staff. As an organization, we are committed to creating an inclusive, diverse, equitable and welcoming culture in which the contributions of all are valued, respected and appreciated. We are dedicated to making our gardens, exhibitions, programs, collections and facilities accessible to all.
We supply wheelchairs and strollers for guests to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis. Accessible Garden walkways and paths are mostly hardscapes, with main walkways comprised of aggregate concrete, sealed concrete, paving stone, asphalt, and brick. Outside we have ramps available anywhere there are stairs, such as the Fountain Garden and into the Conservatory. The fall in the terrain along the top of the main path between the Asian Valley entrance and Central Garden to the entrance of the West Island Garden is about 22 feet (over a distance of 520 feet). Kroger Community Kitchen Garden and Children’s Garden have pathways with ADA-accessible mulch. The Children’s Garden wheelchair-height planting beds are filled with sensory-stimulating plants.
