ABOUT
Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden
Named for the late North Caroline textile executive Daniel Jonathan Stowe, the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is a 380-acre site featuring picturesque scenery and natural elements. The botanical garden consists of rolling meadows, a lakefront, 13 gardens, and a woodland trail. Students, scouts, homeschoolers, and campers can enjoy tours of the garden’s Willow Maze, Orchid Conservatory, Four Seasons Garden, and other areas year-round. Trees, plant life, and wildlife at the garden include weeping willows, orchids, magnolias, floss silk trees, butterflies, tropical bromeliads, snails, and many more. Younger groups will delight in the Children’s Garden, which features a medieval theme complete with a Moon Keep, Fireplace Cave, and more.

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.
