In an abundance of caution and at the direction of NC State University and Governor Cooper's safer at home recommendation, the Arboretum will remain closed until further notice. Check our Web site for online learning opportunities and re-opening updates. Learn more.
The JC Raulston Arboretum is a nationally acclaimed garden with one of the largest and most diverse collections of landscape plants adapted for landscape use in the Southeast. Plants especially adapted to Piedmont North Carolina conditions are collected and evaluated in an effort to find superior plants for use in southern landscapes.
The Grow Box is a program of garden fun for the entire family delivered to your door from North Carolina 4-H and the JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State University. Each box is filled with activities to explore your backyard or the natural spaces near you with guided activities designed to develop science investigation skills. November/December's Grow Box activities will be all about plant propagation.
Check out the Arboretum's Plant Sale Buggy the next time you're near the Arboretum.

Availability changes frequently and is limited. Payments can be made using cash (no change available) or checks.
