UNC Charlotte’s Botanical Gardens declared an ‘absolute must see’ by Positive Bloom
UNC Charlotte’s Botanical Gardens were featured in the article, “If You Are Visiting North Carolina This Stunning Botanical Garden Is An Absolute Must See,” by Positive Bloom.
The Gardens, as part of the Klein College of Science, host three garden sites with sixteen collections, including the rare Titan Arum, also known as a corpse flower.
“Right on the UNC Charlotte campus, you can explore a remarkable collection of plants from around the world without paying a single penny,” the article states. “The botanical gardens function as living classrooms where researchers study plant biology and students learn hands-on horticultural skills. Visitors wander through carefully curated displays that showcase everything from regional favorites to exotic specimens.”
The Botanical Gardens also host regular plant sales, with the 2026 Spring Plant Sale coming up soon. Early access begins on Thursday, April 9, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. for students, faculty, staff and Members of the Gardens. The plant sale will be open to the public on Friday, April 10, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday, April 11, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
