Sure, the weather's hot right now, but our plants are even hotter! It's so wonderful that we're able to experience all four seasons in the Piedmont of North Carolina… Even if our summers can be a bit heavy-handed when it comes to heat load. But that's ok, because the JC Raulston Arboretum is full of plants that not only handle the heat, but thrive in spite of it! If your garden is looking a little tired this time of year, you're not going to want to miss this Plant-lover's Tour highlighting the plants in our garden that hold their own under the summer sun.
