Cape Fear Botanical Garden

Very nice facility with excellent walking paths. Make sure you take some mosquito repellent along, that was about the only issue we had. The highlight for my wife was the kaleidoscope in the Butterfly Lounge that was pointed at some blooming flowers which was really amazing to see.

Beautiful and well maintained gardens with lots of trails.
Would have liked more labels on species but over all a lovely walk through the historical buildings. The fountain in the lake was beautiful.

This time of year in North Carolina, the flowers are pretty much fried. There were a few spots that still had flowers. Some areas were blocked off, but we had a nice family walk around the grounds. My favorite things were the Frog sculpture, the large cactus, and the gift shop. Every one of us found a few things in the gift shop. Most of the prices were reasonable. Based on the weather, it's probably best to go in the spring instead of the summer. Also, a few people mentioned it's very nice around Christmas time.

Went with veterans group from PRRC aka Hope Recovery Center.. it was great.. the kind caring ladies helped us make plants to take home.. they listened to & answered all ?. Then we went on trail.. WOW! So much beauty to see.. even a baby deer appeared.. still in awe..

Blessed

Wonderful botanic garden! Feed the fish for an additional 1$, good bird sounds and bird sightings. A good collection of plants - not exceptional like a conservatory, but good outdoor plants one might expect from a botanical garden. Gorgeous pines, cottonwoods, maples, and oaks. Saw an indigo bunting here!

Was not very busy on the holiday weekend we attended. :)

The gardens are beautiful. I highly recommend it for a leisurely afternoon stroll.
My only recommendation to the botanical garden center would be to add and or update the plant identification tags.

There were plenty of tags for the trees but to identify the flowers or flowing bushes they were either not there or not visible.

The grounds of this facility were beginning to display the festive colors of spring and summer, and the temperature was perfect for an outdoor adventure. Many crew members were actively working to weed beds and plant new flowers around the property.
We did not explore the entire garden park, but we found the historical exhibit and the children’s park to be delightful. My toddler grandchildren enjoyed the rope spider web, the slide, the spectacle sculpture, and the log tunnel. The General Store took me back to my childhood with the many artifacts from bygone days. The tobacco barn and the outdoor privy are excellent teaching tools for the children who study late nineteenth and early twentieth century America.
The facility has some indoor and outdoor spaces that welcome memory-making occasions like weddings, small formal dances, and birthday parties. I hope to return in the summer to see more colors in the foliage.
