Highlands Botanical Gardens
Highlands , NC
Across the street from Sunset Rock is the Highlands Botanical Gardens, an endlessly fascinating stroll that features a little waterfall and a wetlands boardwalk. The unique members of the Highlands botanical community are labeled for convenience. The Botanical Garden offers 12 acres of native plants in a diversity of natural habitats, from upland woods to cove forest and wetland. Special features include a native azalea garden, Plants of the Cherokee, a butterfly garden, and the station’s own self-guided Bartram Trail consisting of 30 native plants associated with 17th century naturalist William Bartram.
