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 responsible stewards 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 Baywatershed, many of BEA's activities focus on watershed protection.Visit us -- the garden is changing every day. We have maps and information in Munger Lodge.
