Welcome to the Daniel Boone Native Gardens
The Daniel Boone Native Gardens, located near downtown Boone, N.C., contain an outstanding collection of native Appalachian trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. Hundreds of plant varieties provide a progression of blooms throughout the growing season.
Opened in 1966, the three-acre Daniel Boone Native Gardens were an educational and conservation effort to nurture rare or endangered Appalachian plant species.
A project of the Garden Club of N.C., Inc., these public gardens comprise a bog garden, fern garden, rhododendron grove, rock garden, rock wishing well, vine-covered arbor, pond alongside the historic Squire Boone Cabin, and several grand vistas. Wrought-iron gates at the entrance were made by a descendant of Daniel Boone, who hunted in the area.
Hours and Fees
The gardens are open daily, May 1 through October. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with extended hours during Horn in the West outdoor drama season. Admission is $2, ages 16 and up. Annual pass $10, professional photographers pass $50. Dogs are not permitted, except service animals.
Group tours can be provided, and the gardens are available for weddings and other events. Please email Daniel Boone Gardens for information.
