On another note.....
I have now heard of 3 people who have lived in Charlottesville for over 10 years
and have never stepped foot into Integral Yoga Natural Foods

IY has THE BEST produce in the city
Smoothies and Veggie Sandwiches in the back
Albemarle Baking Company Bread and awesome groceries

It is basically a LOCAL Whole Foods
(without meat....but of course you can go to The Organic Butcher for that)

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)
Pavillion X
Reserve.....FREE of Charge
additional gardens are also available

 

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.

 
Enjoy the beauty of UVA--Grab a date--enjoy the gardens
