A Great First Date or Party Location
hint hint…..
(Here is a great idea for a date)
OR
Birthday Party!

"I have often thought that if heaven had given me a choice of my
position and calling,
it would have been on a rich spot of earth …
No
occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth,
and no
culture comparable to that of the garden."
       -Thomas Jefferson, 1811

We enjoyed a wonderful Friday night birthday celebration on the UVA grounds
(Thank you Megan and Robo)

One of the largest gardens, Pavilion Garden X is one hundred and fifty
feet wide.

The design of the oval lawn with "elephant ears" was based
on the gardens in another Jefferson-era book, as well as on Jefferson's
ideas for Monticello.
The large hollies remain from an earlier garden.
The Hotel Garden is a collection of tree boxwoods established long
before the restorations.

Iron benches are placed around the Kentucky
coffee trees in a romantic setting popular in eighteenth-century
gardens.
