Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and Genworth are opening the gates for Genworth Free Community Day on Labor Day and getting there is easier this year!

GRTC will have a bus stopping at the Garden throughout the day, and the destination sign will read “Lewis Ginter” so you know exactly which bus to catch.

Here’s how it works:

  • The first bus leaves the Downtown Transfer Station at 8:00 a.m.
  • Buses will come every hour on our Route 1 line, with the Garden added as a special stop!
  • The last bus heads out from Virginia Center Commons at 6:00 p.m., stops at the Garden, and then continues south to Downtown.

Whether you’re coming from the city or the north side, you’ll have a simple way to get to the Garden with GRTC without worrying about parking!
