About Pavilion Garden X at UVA
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. On the Lawn at the University of Virginia
