The folks around here sure have green thumbs. Great place to take a walk. Bonsai garden possibly second to none. Beautiful Asheville attraction.

The Botanical Gardens have become a true oasis of beauty in Asheville. We go there a lot, especially during the summer. It is such a peaceful place to stroll around. There are always some interesting exhibits and I always look forward to seeing the quilt garden each year. It is a true gem and well worth a visit.

We really enjoyed the botanical gardens more than we even expected. We saw many different birds and so many native plants and trees. Everything was very well marked. There are several short trails all adjacent to a stream and the UNC campus. Wonderful photo opportunities! We spent about 2 hours enjoying the quiet here. Parking is free and there is... More

Most of the reviews for the Garden are actually for the NC Arboretum (reference to walk along Bent Creek; $8 parking fee, large modern exhibit space, etc.. Some people evidently got the two places confused.

A wonderful guide gave us a tour of these beautiful woodland gardens. Seeing the trillium in bloom was the highlight to me.

Great place to go walking with a friend, enjoyed the streams, the plants, the quiet. Nice store for picking up some great nature gifts too.

The gardens were just beginning to bloom and the plants are well labeled. The Conservatory did not have quite as many labels so some of the most interesting plants were mystery plants!

It was nice, only $8 for a car. We were there too early to see anything blooming. There was also an art exhibit and quilt show there. Very clean and new facility.

No matter what time of the year, you'll always find something astonishing at these gardens. There are also great trails that travel through Bent Creek, if you feel like a hike.
