Dominion GardenFest of Lights Opens at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

So, have you been?  Have you checked out what approximately 500,000 bulbs looks like? (That’s 40 miles of light strands!). How about the over-sized L-O-V-E letters in the Rose Garden?  If you haven’t been yet, it’s time to get a move on!

It’s expected that over 50,000 folks will see the illuminated Lewis Ginter, an annual tradition for many.

And how does energy conservation tie into this? Well, they’re using more LED lights than before.  And being energy gurus, you know that LEDs use less energy and still give a bright and stunning display.

GardenFest runs 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. daily except for Dec. 24 and 25 at the non-profit Garden located at 1800 Lakeside Ave., Richmond. The event includes family-friendly activities, dining opportunities, music and more.

Admission for Dominion GardenFest is $11 adults; $10 seniors; $7 children ages 3 – 12 and free for children under age 3. Admission for Garden members is $5; for children on a membership it is $4 (ages 3 – 18).

To learn more, call (804) 262-9887 or visit www.lewisginter.org.

Have fun!
