North Carolina Arboretum

I thought this trellis made an attractive fence.


 This little shed has a carefully designed moss roof.

There are several different pitcher plants in the gardens.

And insects abound.
 In addition to the flowers, trees, and plants, there are many sculptures.
This gate has some of the plants included in the design.
 There are several gates in the grounds.

There is a large bonsai collection. 
The curator believes that they should be appreciated for their beauty.
None of the plants lists the age of the plant.


 And no visit would be complete without the Cherokee.

This property is called the North Carolina Arboretum.
It is more noted for its gardens.
The "North Carolina Botanical Garden" name was already taken.
