What Our Garden Guests Love About
Cape Fear Botanical Garden

Beautifully balanced between manicured gardens and wild woodland trails, this ranks among my favorite garden visits. A truly delightful oasis amidst the bustling chaos.

Vark R.

A lovely afternoon—plenty of spots to sit and relax in sun or shade, peaceful paths, and beautiful views. We saw butterflies, turtles, and geese! Quiet, peaceful, and highly recommended.

Took an herb class with a great instructor, tasty snacks, and a garden walk. It was informative, engaging, and a truly pleasant experience.
