The N.C. Botanical Garden has partnered with Chapel Hill-based GPTrex to produce interactive, family-friendly adventures for visitors with an iPhone or iPad with 3G capabilities. The “Garden Explorer†will teach visitors about the garden’s work with rare plants and unique habitats, as well as the role of prescribed fire in land management.
Interested visitors should download the free GPTrex application from the Apple App Store. From within the application, visitors can access “Garden Explorer†by searching for “North Carolina Botanical Garden.â€
