Charlottesville may not have a true “lover’s lane,” but there is one spot where generations of paramours have canoodled: UVA’s Pavilion Gardens. Surrounded by Thomas Jefferson’s famous serpentine walls, it’s not immediately obvious that they’re open to the public—oh, but they are. In addition to picnickers and bridal parties, they’re a prime spot for a romantic tryst among the tulips (and peonies and boxwoods and native species…). If only those serpentine walls could talk.
