    1. I think the really big boxwoods are a little more common in the mid-Atlantic, where the winter weather is more kind to them — although many old specimens in the D.C. area were very damaged in the snows of 2010 and 2011.

  1. I would love to tour the gardens and grounds! Those country homes in the Charlottesville area are so stately and gracious. Have a wonderful 4th, Cindy! Hope you are home for the festivities.
