There is room to grow. Some areas are well done, like the one with the cottage that resembles the old NC, but there are some things that need more work.

Attended a professional conference that was held in the conference center. The sping flowers had already started as it was an early spring this year in NC. The flowers were beautiful, a very relaxing walk. Staff helpful and with super attitudes. Small gift shop also in conference ctr. also has food available; a nice on site treat. Throughly enjoyed!

The staff here is very nice and they offer a small military discount. However, there really isn't much to see here.

My husband and I went on one of our first dates to the Botanical Garden and we also got engaged on the lawn by the gazebo! We have been here a few times and just love the beauty and the nature! It's such a relaxing place to visit and the gift shop is wonderful! More
