The New Hanover County Arboretum in Wilmington NC

When the winter cold starts breaking and spring is on it’s way, you’ll find lots of Wilmingtonians at the New Hanover County Arboretum. If you haven’t been yet, what are you waiting for?

You’ll find the most gorgeous NC gardens at the Arboretum and best of all, it’s completely free of charge so you can take the entire family without feeling guilty! A winding trail will take you through all of the gardens including the veggie patch, the Japanese garden, the butterfly garden, the children’s garden (complete with playhouse), the bog garden and more. In the middle of it all sits a spectacular water garden atop a pretty pond.

Our family visits at least once each season and it has become a tradition for us. If you’re planning a visit to Wilmington NC, make sure you stop by. There’s beauty hidden behind the Arboretum’s grey brick exterior just waiting for you to discover it.

The Arboretum is located on Oleander Drive right before you cross the bridge to go to Wrightsville Beach.
