University of North Carolina at Charlotte Botanical Gardens
University of North Carolina at Charlotte Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden at University of North Carolina, United States.
The Botanical Gardens at the University span about three acres with specialized areas including the McMillan Greenhouse, Van Landingham Glen, and Susie Harwood Garden. Each section displays different plant groups and focused collections.
The project began in 1966 as an educational resource for students and gradually expanded over time. Multiple specialized plant sections were added as the initiative developed and grew.
The gardens serve as a learning space where students and visitors explore diverse plant species from around the world. The collections reflect the institution's commitment to botanical education and community engagement.
The outdoor areas are open to visitors during daylight hours and admission is free. The greenhouse operates on weekday schedules, so weekend visits work best for exploring the outdoor sections.
One section displays primitive plant species alongside a large skeleton of a prehistoric creature. This pairing helps visitors understand plants within their evolutionary context.
