There is no shortage of green at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. The 
900-acre garden in Chapel Hill shows off several shades of green in its 
gardens, which are filled with lotus lilies, orchids, tobacco, pitcher 
plants, trilliums, mountain laurel and heartleaf pickerelweed alongside 
thousands of other species. The garden has been showcasing native plants 
and habitat gardens since it was founded in 1971.
