Exhibits and Art at the Garden
There are many ways to explore and learn about the natural world. We regularly host exhibits that help to interpret the natural world of which we are a part or that represent an artist's view of nature.

Annual Sculpture in the Garden Exhibition
Every fall the display gardens at the North Carolina Botanical Garden sprout a crop of unique creations by North Carolina artists. A group of one-of-a kind sculptures placed amid the native wildflowers and shrubs delight garden visitors for two months. See sidebar at right for images of award winning sculptures from the 2009 Sculpture in the Garden exhibition, which closed on November 15.

REMNANTS
January 9 - February 28, 2010
An exhibit of fine art prints from natural places, by David Blevins:
"North Carolina was once a wild land of diverse natural habitats. Although much has been lost, examples of some of this diversity can still be found in remnants of the natural landscape. I have created photographs in these places where nature is allowed to freely express itself. This exhibit features photographs of common, rare, and newly discovered plants, as well as natural landscapes from across North Carolina. The images provide a glimpse of what remains of North Carolina's natural environments on public lands and properties managed by the Nature Conservancy, land trusts, the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program, and the North Carolina Botanical Garden."
Photographing the Remnants of Natural North Carolina
Please join David Blevins on Sunday, January 17, at 2:30 pm for a talk about the creative process and his inspiration for these images. The presentation will be followed by a reception at 3:30. FREE, but please call 919-962-0522 to reserve a seat for the talk.
