The
North Carolina Botanical Garden, which consists of nearly
600 acres, aspires to be a great Garden as part of a great University.
It is made up of three tracts in Chapel Hill: the Coker Arboretum,
the Mason Farm Biological Reserve, and the North Carolina Botanical
Garden proper.
The mission of The
J. C. Raulston Arboretum at NC State is to enrich and expand
urban and residential landscapes by promoting a greater diversity
of superior and better adapted landscape plants for creative,
environmentally sound landscapes.
Successful Gardener is published 10 times a year by NC State University and NC A & T State University Cooperative Extension. It features articles about plants that grow well in this state, questions and answers , an enviro-tip plus tips for the month.
