We visited the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill yesterday. They had beautiful quilts of the NC wildflower of the year hanging in their new Education Center and a sweet gift shop. The culinary garden was lovely. Why can't I get my rosemary to grow like that?
The poisonous plant walk had me thinking about Amy Stewart's WICKED PLANTS book. Just walking through that garden made me itchy. My favorite part of the garden was... the bees! They have a cool metal outdoor chess set, an Ocanneechi pine-needle hut built that was a joint project by an Eagle Scout and a local Ocanneechi Chief. And the cattail gates, spider garden gate, and sparrow fence-sculpture were all beautiful. More blooms are on their way.
