The JC Raulston Arboretum is a nationally acclaimed botanic garden located in Raleigh, North Carolina with one of the largest collections of garden plants adapted for the southeast United States. Plants are collected and evaluated in an effort to find superior plants for use in southern landscapes. Open to the public every day of the year. Free admission. Ranked as one of the best things to do in Raleigh.
Registration is now open and only a few spots remain. Make sure to grab a spot for your camper to spend a week in the gardens creating, learning, playing and exploring.
Winter may quiet the garden, but it’s the season that shapes what comes next. Gardening with Gusto treats winter as design season — a time to observe, learn, and rethink what's possible. Join fellow gardeners and head into spring inspired and energized.

The Plant Stand is currently on hiatus until February 21. Watch for updates.
Check out the JCRA's Plant Stand when you visit. Located outside the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center, it’s a great spot to find choice and unusual plants for your garden. New plants are added throughout the week, and payments can be made using cash (no change available), checks or credit cards.
