A real garden where one can enter in and forget the whole world cannot be made in a day, a month or a lifetime.  It must be planned for, and waited for, and loved into being...

-Ancient Chinese Proverb

Foxfire has always been here. It lived in our hearts, as a child does, long before it was formed into flesh and took its first breath.

We never started out with a grandiose plan, but rather with the sense that something was waiting to be born. Again, like the child, one never knows the color of the eyes or the complexion of the skin but just that a life is pounding and flowing inexorably toward being an that, for a time, you are the vehicle of that force. A force that too soon grows beyond you and seeks its own self.

Foxfire is a very special place, not due to the magnitude of the labor that created it, but rather to the magnitude of the love that whispered its name and brought it into being. Welcome to Foxfire Botanical Gardens...
