Mothers get a whole weekend not just a day at Lewis Ginter this weekend

The rest of Richmond is rolling out the red carpet for all the moms out there on Sunday, Mothers Day. Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden on the other hand has planned a full weekend of family fun. There’s the usual ongoing Butterflies LIVE! exhibit, Children’s Garden activities, shopping, dining options, and about a gazillion plants to check out. Now for most that would be plenty but our moms deserve more and Lewis Ginter is making sure that it’s a great weekend for everyone.
