Stroll through 85 acres of natural and specialty gardens.

From the sculpture-like starkness of the winter forest to the colorful masses of summer flowers, the Cape Fear Botanical Garden is beautiful year round. Located on 85 acres where Cross Creek meets the Cape Fear River the CFBG features a large urban forest with nature trails, a natural amphitheater, steep ravines sheltering unusual plants, and a variety of terrain from open pine forest to lush riverbank.

A picturesque garden gazebo presides over a Great Lawn bordered by beds of perennial flowers and is a favorite location for Fayetteville weddings. The many specialty gardens offer inspiration for those seeking ideas for their own gardens as well as providing a lovely backdrop for a weekend stroll.
