The Woodland Gazebo
THE SIGNATURE SECRET GARDEN CEREMONY SITE OF CENTRAL VIRGINIA
The Woodland Gazebo is Boxwood Villa’s signature secret garden ceremony site, tucked within a secluded woodland landscape where towering trees, lush greenery, and curated garden pathways create an atmosphere of timeless romance. Designed for couples seeking an outdoor wedding surrounded by nature, this enchanting setting feels worlds away while remaining beautifully connected to the elegance of the historic estate near Charlottesville, Virginia.
Perfect for garden weddings, outdoor ceremonies, elopements, and nature-inspired celebrations, the Woodland Gazebo offers a uniquely immersive experience in every season. Spring blooms, summer greenery, autumn color, and the quiet beauty of winter each transform the space while preserving its romantic and intimate character.
NEW DAWN ROSES
One of the Woodland Gazebo's most beloved features is the canopy of heirloom New Dawn roses that gracefully climb and bloom throughout the growing season. Introduced in 1930 and celebrated as the world's first patented plant, New Dawn remains one of the most cherished climbing roses in garden history, admired for its soft blush-pink blooms, delicate fragrance, and remarkable resilience.
For generations, roses have symbolized love, devotion, and enduring partnership, but the New Dawn rose carries a particularly meaningful message for wedding ceremonies. Its very name evokes the beginning of a new chapter—a fresh start, a shared future, and the promise of a life built together. As couples exchange vows beneath these historic climbing roses, they are surrounded by a living symbol of renewal, hope, and lasting love.
ANNABELLE HYDRANGEAS
Framing either side of the Woodland Gazebo, our Annabelle hydrangeas create a breathtaking display of oversized ivory blooms throughout the summer season. Beloved for their cloud-like flower heads and timeless elegance, Annabelle hydrangeas have long symbolized heartfelt emotion, gratitude, and abundance. As their luminous blooms soften the edges of the garden and surround the ceremony space in natural beauty, they create a romantic setting that feels both refined and effortlessly inviting—a reminder that life's most meaningful moments are often the ones shared in full bloom.
PINK CHEROKEE DOGWOOD TREES
Surrounding the Woodland Gazebo, our Pink Cherokee Dogwoods offer a beautiful tribute to Virginia's natural landscape. A cultivated selection of the native flowering dogwood—Virginia's state tree and state flower—these beloved trees bring soft blush-pink blooms to the garden each spring. As they flower beneath the woodland canopy, they create a romantic setting rooted in the region's botanical heritage, connecting each celebration to the beauty and character of the Virginia countryside.
