Symposium and Seminar Information

As one the Southeast’s top teaching gardens, the JCRA is a hot-spot for in-depth, educational gatherings which focus on current and compelling themes in horticulture.

We host two symposia each year:

In June, we put on the Southeastern Plant Symposium in conjunction with Juniper Level Botanic Gardens.

In February, we host the JC Raulston Arboretum Winter Symposium.

Some of our symposia are held in conjunction with an online plant auction. For more information, contact jcraprograms@ncsu.edu.
