Cape Fear Botanical Garden, Fayetteville NC

Today we decided to visit the Botanical Garden in Fayetteville.  Unfortunately we only saw a fraction of it because my scooter started making some terrible screeching, grinding noises!  The motor is self-contained so there is no way for us to see inside, but it sounded as though some sand or gravel got inside of it somehow.  Maybe it is just ready to be retired...we think it's about 13 years old as its the very first one I got.  We might just be needing to buy a new one shortly.

We found this to be a quite accessible venue with both both paved and gravel paths, just wish we could have seen more of it!  Spring would be fabulous here with much more in bloom.

However, we took a lot of nice photos, so enjoy!

Parsley used as groundcover!

Great raised planter with salad greens, etc.

Not sure what kind of berries these were?

Red lantana

Variegated lantana

Snapdragons

Giant prickly pear cactus

Decorative cabbage

Cool metal frog sculpture holding a lantern (Wilson would have loved this!)

Plus they have a great gift shop!
