Extended summer visiting hours for weekends have begun at the N.C. Botanical Garden; the garden is now open on weekends until 6 p.m. The garden’s year-round weekly hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) remain unchanged, while it will open at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Sundays.
In addition, starting Monday the garden’s paved visitor parking lot will be closed and locked after hours. The nature trails are open until dusk, but visitors must park in the gravel overflow lot if they wish to stay after hours.
