Welcome to Boxerwood

Boxerwood - a Nature Center and Woodland Garden located in Lexington, Virginia - is the legacy of Robert S. Munger (1911-1988). It is situated in a rolling Virginia valley nestled between the Allegany and Appalachian Mountains. The thirty acre site contains six distinct habitats and fifteen acres of mature, naturalistically planted trees and shrubs, featuring both native and unusual plant specimens.

The Boxerwood Education Association (BEA) sponsors many educational programs, special events, and community activities to further its mission "to educate and inspire people of all ages to be successful and environmentally responsible stewards of the earth." Most of BEA's education programs take place on site. Others occur at local schools and along local rivers. Boxerwood is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and many of BEA's activities focus on watershed protection. To find out more of what we do, click on any of the rotating images.
