HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is trying to help you relieve stress with a special,two-night event.

There will be contemplative live music, open scenery for exploration, luminary displays, self-reflective prompts and the chance to write personal notes that will go into a community paper chain of wishes and commemorations.

“We know it's been such a difficult time for everybody with a lot of isolation, a lot of loss due to the pandemic. And the garden is such a healing space, it's, you know, it's an incredible coming together for our community," said Kristin Thorman, Director of Education and Exhibitions for Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.

The event starts at 6 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m. on Sept. 29 and 30. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Organizers anticipate 1,200 people to come out.

Tickets are limited, but you can get yours here.
