About Juniper Level Botanic Garden
Juniper Level Botanic Garden covers about ten acres in the Juniper community of southern Wake County. Its collection spans native perennials, plants from around the world, rare plants, and unusual trees and shrubs. The grounds are arranged in separate gardens, including Founder's Garden, Michelle's Garden, Souto Garden, Crevice Garden, and Anita's Garden. The garden was founded in 1986 by Tony Avent and his wife Michelle, and it is also home to Plant Delights Nursery. Visitors can tour the grounds only when the garden holds its open days, which happen four times a year over two weekends in each season. The garden is at its fullest from late April through mid-October.
