Richmond’s Rooftop Garden is located on the 2nd floor of the Richmond Library/Cultural Centre, open from April – October. It features a variety of floral and food plants maintained by the Richmond Garden Club, with a long picnic table to host small group workshops or events, and a big chess game for players of all ages. To access the garden, climb the stairs in the Cultural Centre Rotunda and it is the door on your right. If taking the elevator, walk past the Textile Studio to find the door on your left.
