Gardening Questions?

Visit our Green Gardener "Plant Clinic": a garden curator, trained volunteer, or Orange County Master Gardener is available every weekday from noon to 2 pm at the Green Gardener Desk in the Education Center (central building). You may also call (919-962-0522) at that time with your gardening/plant questions, or email the Garden and we'll forward your question to a Green Gardener Volunteer.

Education Center
The Garden's Education Center was dedicated on Oct 12, 2009. This Platinum level (LEED) green building was funded with private contributions from people like you!

The Botanical Garden is a Campus Sustainability Partner and a founding member of the Center for Plant Conservation
