About the year 1400 the Royal Gardens contained 
Boxwood clipped in shapes of many animals and birds. 
The Boxwood brought from England and planted at 
Lower Brandon, Va. about 1635 is still in perfect condition 
as well as the fine Box Gardens on other famous old Virginia 
places, Mount Vernon, Stratford House, Westover, Red Hill, 
Brandon and Shirley. What other evergreen would survive 
these many years and retain its beautiful form and texture. 
The rare charm and air of living antiquity that surround 
genuine Old English Boxwood cannot be duplicated in any 
other shrub. Its delicate aroma and perennially beautiful 
foliage lend century-old grace and interest to your gardens.
