Spread out over 24 luxurious acres, the Ginter Botanical Garden features various landscape designs, seasonal displays and gardening techniques. Also on site, you'll find a truly breathtaking example of a Victorian garden as well as Bloemendaal, an 1888 Victorian manor that has been meticulously maintained to retain its regal, commanding appearance. History and pageantry balance perfectly at this truly unforgettable garden.
There is no question that antiques are classic. It only makes sense to purchase those precious items from an establishment that is nearly as time-tested as the antiques themselves. West End Antique Mall more than lives up to its reputation, and that commitment to excellence in both inventory and service is what has made area shoppers vote them as Richmond's Top Antique Mall. Featuring over 250 booths placed over 53,000 square feet, you'll find such treasures as porcelain, fine art, mirrors, lighting, pottery, silver, carpets and much more.
