This year, the Foundation of the State Arboretum will be celebrating Ginkgo Gold with special visitor services on the weekends of October 26th and 27th and November 2nd and 3rd. Several snack trucks and extra bathrooms will welcome visitors near the parking entrance before you begin your 10-minute walk to the Grove. We will also host a ginkgo and State Arboretum of Virginia souvenir stand and a Sponsor A Ginkgo Tree booth across from the Gingko Grove.
Learn more about how you can sponsor a ginkgo tree tagged with your name!
Come enjoy the glorious golden ginkgoes and support the State Arboretum of Virginia at Blandy Experimental Farm.
