Botanical Garden of the Piedmont Garden Groundbreaking Ceremony

Virginia National Bank was thrilled to attend the Groundbreaking Ceremony on June 4, 2026 to mark the important milestone for the Botanical Garden of the Piedmont.

This dedication of the 15-acre site in McIntire Park in Charlottesville is a momentous occasion that signals the next chapter of the Garden. Construction is beginning and the Garden is moving from vision to visible progress. This site will grow into a large landscape of gardens and spaces for community members.
