15 of the Most Beautiful Botanical Gardens in North Carolina

Story by NCTripping.com , Photo from Gaston County Tourism

One of the most beautiful ways to enjoy spring (especially spring break) is to look for new growth, beautiful flowers, and gorgeous green spaces! The following 15 botanical gardens in North Carolina offer all of that but also blooms throughout much of the year, if not all of it.



Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, Belmont

Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden spreads over 100 acres in Belmont, along Lake Wylie. Its Visitor Pavilion features a 100-year-old stained-glass dome and special garden spaces such as a cottage garden with popular late 19th- and early 20th-century plants, a children’s garden, and perennial gardens.


Other attractions include 3.2 miles of walking trails, a dry Piedmont prairie similar to the landscape of 200 years ago, and North Carolina’s only orchid conservatory.


Open daily (temporary hours are Thursday-Sunday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, advance tickets required) with admission charges from $7.95 to $14.95. Garden members and children under 2 are free and discounts are available for seniors.
