ABOUT
Cape Fear Botanical Garden
Cape Fear Botanical Garden is an ideal outdoor classroom for learning about flowers, planting, seeds, sprouts, soil, insects, and much more. Cape Fear Botanical Garden’s 80 acres feature nature trails, a natural amphitheater, ravines, ponds, aquatic plants, and other natural elements. Groups will enjoy walking amongst various blooms and trees such as daylilies, oaks, camellias, banana trees, and orchids. The garden is also home to owls, frogs, Canada Geese, rabbits, and other wildlife. Groups can also see the Farmhouse and General Store in the 19th-century Heritage Garden Complex during their visit. Tours can be combined with a hands-on program for your students, scouts, homeschoolers, or campers.

FUN FACTS
The diverse world of plants is perhaps the weirdest, and most fascinating, of all living things. Bamboo can grow over three feet in one day (you can literally watch it grow). There are 600 species of carnivorous plants, which trap and digest insects, frogs, or small birds (if a vegetarian eats this plant, are they still a vegetarian?). The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can grow up to three feet in diameter (how big would a bouquet be…). Do a little digging on your next trip to a botanical garden (not literally!), and see what interesting plant facts you can find.
