The North Carolina Botanical Garden is a conservation garden with a guiding mission to inspire understanding, appreciation, and conservation of plants and to advance a sustainable relationship between people and nature. For more than half a century, the North Carolina Botanical Garden has championed efforts to conserve the State’s botanical legacy. Today, the North Carolina Botanical Garden manages more than 1,200 acres of garden and conservation lands, safeguards rare and endangered plant species from extinction, and educates new generations of plant enthusiasts and environmental citizens.
We invite you to explore rare wildflowers in our Piedmont habitat, soak up the sun in our Courtyard Gardens, or set your youngsters free in the Children’s Wonder Garden.
You can make an impact and support the Garden’s mission today.

North Carolina Botanical Garden
As the region’s foremost center of botanical research, the North Carolina Botanical Garden (525201) bears a unique responsibility to advance plant conservation. The future of the human race depends on how well we all safeguard plant biodiversity. With your gift, you will help the Garden continue to inform and educate citizens, as well as support research and land management practices to preserve plant biodiversity.
Coker Arboretum Improvement Fund
We’re joining with the University to renovate the arbor in the Coker Arboretum (525403) to ensure it’s safe, accessible, and enjoyed by students and community members for years to come. The length of a football field, the 300-foot wooden arbor is an iconic site in the Coker Arboretum UNC campus. Help us raise funds to replace this arbor, soon to be draped with native flowering vines in the heart of the University.
