PARTNERS IN THE PICTURE: Busy Bees… and Garden Partners
What keeps Boxerwood humming year round? It’s the ongoing spirit of giving, planting, tending, teaching, and growing brought to the garden by two wonderful allies, Rockbridge Area Master Gardeners Association (RAMGA), and the Upper James River Virginia Native Plant Society (UJRVNPS). We are so delighted (and relieved) that more than a dozen volunteers from these organizations have chosen Boxerwood as a site for sharing their expertise and hard work. We’re especially grateful that the love is reciprocal.
MEET THE AMBASSADORS
Ambassadors volunteer for shifts to meander the Garden as a friendly resource. Maps, memberships, natural wonders? They’re ready. The program is in its pilot stage now, with sixteen volunteers recently completing their training. The connections are already happening.
