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.
We're here to inspire gardeners and illuminate the relationship between gardening and art at this year's Winter Symposium. As one of the Southeast's top teaching gardens, the JCRA is the place to be for in-depth, educational gatherings which focus on current and compelling themes in horticulture. This year's symposium features three amazing guest speakers: Shannon Currey, Bob Lyons, and Elissa Steeves. Our speakers will be enlightening us on ways we can explore the artistic side of gardening with design secrets and innovative ideas.
