Dear Rose Garden Supporter,
Stop and smell the roses! How many times have we heard that saying? Sometimes we just need a break from the hectic world around us. The Richmond Rose Garden offers a wonderful sanctuary to rest, reflect, and surround yourself in the living art of roses in bloom.
Did you know…
- Over 1,100 rose plants grow in beds that encircle the iconic gazebo. It’s the perfect setting for weddings, graduation pictures, and family reunions.
- Walkways paved with historic Star Bricks allow you to meander through the Garden on flat surfaces that are accessible for everyone.
- The annual 1stBloom&Glow event brings the entire community together for an evening of food, fun, music, and glowing hot air balloons!
- The Richmond Rose Garden operates separately from the Parks Department. It is 100% funded by grants and front contributions from donors like you!
- The Rose Garden has no paid staff. Dedicated board members and volunteers donate their time and talents. All the funds we raise go toward the purchase of new roses and maintenance, improvement, and promotions of the Garden for the community.
The mission of the Richmond Rose Garden is to honor Richmond’s rose legacy with a beautiful environment for all to enjoy. Will you help us sustain our mission?
