A free, 70-acre native-plant oasis on the UNC campus with display gardens, trails, a carnivorous-plant house, art installations and seasonal blooms. Best photographed at golden hour or overcast for soft floral detail. Easy parking; wheelchair-accessible paths in many areas. Weekday mornings are quieter; festivals draw crowds. Pack macro lens, rain gear (storms are sudden), and respect plant labels and restricted beds.
