Juniper Level Botanic Garden was established in 1986 when Raleigh native Tony Avent and his wife Michelle purchased a 2.2 acre abandoned sandy loam tobacco farm. Their vision is to collect, study, preserve, propagate, and share plants for a better world. Now, the garden is over 28 acres and filled with more than 27,000 taxa of plants, including native perennials, exotic plants, rare delights, and an array of incredible and unusual specimen trees and shrubs you won’t see anywhere else in the world. Learn about the history and future of the garden and their extensive research on a guided tour. Please note that the gardens have dirt paths.
Enjoy some leisure time as you stroll around the farmers market and enjoy lunch on your own at one of their two restaurants.
