Located in Boone, North Carolina, the Daniel Boone Native Gardens were opened in 1963 to nurture rare or endangered plant species. The three acres, which are maintained by the Garden Club of North Carolina, include a bog garden, fern garden, rhododendron grove, rock garden, wishing well, and a pond alongside the Squire Boone Cabin.
The garden is open daily May through October from dawn to dusk. Admission is $2.00 per person.
I've been there and completely missed the gardens! Won't next time.
ReplyDeleteYou'll definitely have to see them!
DeleteYou have such great nature places to visit. I have a few here, but finding the time to visit them has been hard lately.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly can be tough to visit all of these great places. I've sorted them by state in my pages section, so you can peruse them when you do have time to visit.
DeleteWhat a beautiful location for a garden.
ReplyDeleteI like the historical aspect of this one.
Deletelooks very quaint. Glad it gives the garden club something to do. Lovely
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to keep the gardeners busy!
DeleteDefinitely worth the price to pay to take a walk in the lovely park :D
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteHi Sherry - it looks an interesting smaller garden, so one can concentrate on the particular sections ... and reasonably cheap too - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI like the cabin. It's a little bit of history.
