News from the Garden
Entry Walk Under Construction
If you visit our display gardens in the next few months, you’ll notice some construction underway. We’re making improvements to the main entrance walkway from our parking lot down to the Allen Education Center. Both the walkway and breezeway will be paved, stone seating will be installed, and more.
Jesse Mason Cemetery and the History of the Garden
On November 17th, Ken Moore led a field trip of North Carolina Botanical Garden tour guides and a few community members to the Jesse Mason Cemetery, just within the boundary of the Chatham County line near its intersection with Orange, Durham, and Wake Counties.
