boxwood

An important centerpiece of the living collection at the Dixon Gallery & Gardens is the boxwood. At first glance, these medium to dark green shrubs with inconspicuous flowers might seem boring to serious gardeners. I have grown to appreciate boxwood, however, thanks to their incredible diversity in shape, size and texture. TEXT BY DALE SKAGGS, DIRECTOR OF HORTICULTURE AT DIXON GALLERY & GARDENS
