Boxerwood, the legacy of
Robert S. Munger
(1911-1988), is situated in Lexington, Virginia. It
consists
of 31 acres of rolling Shenandoah Valley.
Boxerwood is both a
Nature Center and a
Woodland Garden. The site
contains six distinct habitats and 15 acres of mature, naturalistically planted trees and shrubs,
featuring both native and unusual plant specimens.
The Boxerwood
Education Association sponsors many educational programs,
special events, and community activities in order to further our
mission: to educate and inspire people of all ages
toward becoming successful and environmentally responsible
stewards of the earth.
Most
of Boxerwood's education programs take place on site. Others are
at local schools and river locations. We are in the Chesapeake
Bay
watershed
and many of our
activities focus on its protection.
