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 toward becoming successful and environmentally responsiblestewards of the earth." Most of BEA's education programstake place on site. Others occur at local schools and along local rivers. Because Boxerwood is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, many of BEA's activities focus on watershed protection.

Visit us -- the garden is changing every day. August is another month of summer  blooms and color.  Turtles are basking and if you're quiet, you might spot frogs in the wetlands.  Maps and other information are in Munger Lodge. Visiting the garden is free, but we welcome donations.  Or, make the garden your own - become a member.
