A Family Tradition
Boxwoods have been part of the family
tradition at Saunders Brothers for over 50 years. What
started as one boy's 4-H project evolved into the foundation
of our wholesale nursery. Today we supply hundreds of garden
centers and landscapers with a large selection of both
container and field -grown cultivars. As coordinators of the
National Boxwood Trails, we look at how boxwoods are
performing at trial sites around the eastern United States
in order to predict which new cultivars will be considered
"the best of the bests."
Why Boxwood?
Modern-day gardeners are rediscovering
boxwoods, which have been a staple of formal gardens for
centuries. The qualities that make boxwoods so fitting in
today's landscapes include their slow to moderate growth
rates, which means they fit into small area and require very
little pruning. They are nearly deer-resistant and thrive in
shady locations. A wide range of shapes and sizes means that
gardeners can find one to fit almost every need, from
upright accents to dwarf edging. When combined with other
herbaceous and woody plants, boxwoods instantly add timeless
elegance to any garden.
