WELCOMING AND CELEBRATING YOU
INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT OF SUPPORT
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 received the VisitAble Advocate certification. You can be assured that this location has been trained on how to best serve its visitors with disabilities. Specifically, 80% of frontline and decision-making staff have been trained and new employees are trained as they are onboarded. Our Advocate Certification does not indicate any level of accessibility, but rather that a location or organization is making strides to become more inclusive to visitors of all abilities. For more information, visit VisitAble.org Advocate Certification.
Just as a garden requires ongoing cultivation and tending, we pledge to continually reflect on and adapt our practices to ensure that we uphold this policy. We invite you to reach out at (804) 262-9887 or ContactUs@lewisginter.org. if you have questions, suggestions, or wish to provide feedback about how we can better accommodate you. Please join us as we continue striving to create a welcoming culture in the community we share!
