Richmond Virginia’s premier bed and breakfast invites you for a fabulous garden getaway! On arrival at our inn, delight in our urban garden as you sip a glass of wine during our complimentary evening wine hour. After dinner at one of our neighborhood eateries, return to the inn and your guest room for the night. In the morning you’ll wake to the aroma of freshly-brewed custom roasted coffee and a hearty gourmet breakfast.
After breakfast, head over to 1800 Lakeside Drive, the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and their special exhibition of Glorious Glass in the Garden. Over 200 glass sculptures, produced by Hans Godo Frabel, have been installed in the gardens, in the conservatory, and in the library. Some pieces will be for sale; small Frabel sculptures will be available in the Lewis Ginter Gift Shop. The glass sculptures will be on display through January 10, 2011 and will be surrounded by plants specifically chosen to coordinate with each display throughout the seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. During the Annual Festival of Lights November 26, 2010 through January 10, 2011, the glass sculptures will feature prominently in display of the more than a half a million lights. Whether your visit is timed to see the sculptures dusted with pollen in the spring, surrounded by the million blooms of summer, brushed by the cool fall breezes, or, perhaps dusted with snow.
