Join the ECW at 10:30am at St Peter’s for a trip to the beautiful Lewis Ginter Gardnens in Richmond
The gardens spread over 40 acres and is developed into more than a dozen themed areas – dozen themed gardens include a Children’s Garden, Rose Garden, Healing Garden, Sunken Garden, Asian Valley and Victorian Garden.
Ginter was a Richmond philanthropist who bought the land in 1884. In response to the new craze for bicycling he founded the Lakeside Wheel Club in 1894. This was the original structure which is now Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden’s historic Bloemendaal House.
