At Glenward Gates Botanical Gardens, we are in love with love. Our founders, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Chappell were truly blessed to have had one of those magical marriages that everyone dreams of having. Their love story is written all over the grounds of Glenward Gates and it is a presence you can feel as soon as you step onto the property.

​Nestled between fields of farm and timberland, this tranquil colonial venue features a stately courtyard, towering waterfall, peaceful fish ponds, flowing lion’s head reservoir, and in-ground swimming pool surrounded by boxwoods, azaleas, rhododendrons, and roses interspersed with Italian sculptures. Established in 1962, Glenward Gates is conveniently located 7 miles from I-85 or I-95 in Dinwiddie County.

This home and the beautiful gardens the Chappells built and grew together can now be part of your story too. Let us help you create the wedding day of your dreams and the start of your own magical journey.
