Boxerwood Nature Center & Woodland garden
To help maintain the garden for all visitors, we encourage a pay-what-you-can donation for maintenance of the grounds and to offset the impact of your visit on the garden. Suggested donation is $5 per car, or support Boxerwood with an annual membership.
You can make a cash donation at the kiosk or donate online using the form on this page.
