North Carolina Botanical Garden
North Carolina Botanical Garden Review
The North Carolina Botanical Garden, south of downtown, has the largest collection of native plants in the Southeast. Nature trails wind through a 300-acre Piedmont forest. The herb garden and carnivorous-plant collection are impressive. A new visitor education center is slated to open in summer 2009.
