north carolina state university arboretum

(In 1997, renamed the J. C. Raulston Arboretum.) A small (8-acre) but very exciting garden in Raleigh, displaying several thousand species of trees, shrubs, and perennials that are well adapted to the heat and humidity of the South. Many of these plants are new to American gardens and have been made available to nurseries for propagation through the arboretum's outreach program. See also Raulston, J. C..
