The Bog Garden

The Bog Garden is a botanical garden featuring an elevated wooden boardwalk system winding through natural wetland terrain. The space displays native plant species, including carnivorous varieties, water features, and habitat areas that support local wildlife.

The garden developed as an effort to preserve North Carolina's natural wetlands and showcase native plant diversity. It was established to protect these ecosystems while providing public access to learn about their ecological value.

The garden demonstrates how people connect with wetland nature through observation and learning about the plants and animals that depend on these environments. Visitors walk among species that most people never encounter in their daily lives.

The garden has multiple entry points with clear pathways that lead through the property. The elevated boardwalks provide easy access to various observation areas without disturbing the natural environment.

The garden contains specialized sections for carnivorous plants, particularly native pitcher plants that trap and digest insects for nutrition. This feature reveals one of nature's most clever survival strategies in environments where typical root feeding is limited.
