About
Boxerwood Youth & Community Programs include meandering, recreation, and learning in an outdoor setting. Participants take part in hands-on actions that protect waterways, restore soil, help wildlife, and also have opportunities for volunteering.
• Schedule: The garden is open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.
• Price: Large group visits are fee-based.
Boxerwood Youth & Community Programs are part of the Boxerwood Education Association, a grassroots non-profit serving Rockbridge County, Virginia. The mission of Boxerwood Education Association is to educate and inspire people of all ages to be environmentally responsible stewards of the Earth. Boxerwood Education Association has been a flourishing part of community life for 25 years, with roots beginning in the 1950s, and it purchased Boxerwood in 1999 and opened to the public shortly thereafter. Founders of Boxerwood Education Association are Karen Bailey, Hunter Mohring, and Mollie Messimer. In 2015, the Commonwealth of Virginia recognized Boxerwood Education Association as an Environmental Education Center of Excellence. Boxerwood sustains its Earth care projects in part through proceeds from its homegrown community-based carbon-offset marketplace, COREworks, and it offers an award-winning multi-school partnership, a portfolio of clubs and camps, and a collection of beloved seasonal happenings. The grounds include five distinct habitats accessible by pathways and trails, and they are open daily from dawn to dusk for meandering, recreation, and learning. For groups of ten or more people, including kids, Boxerwood asks that visitors make contact at least two weeks ahead of time to plan the visit.
