JC Raulston Arboretum

As a Raleigh wedding photographer, I love the JC Raulston Arboretum! I recently photographed a wedding ceremony here, and it was absolutely stunning during the spring with all of the flowers in bloom! There are so many beautiful places to take photos after the ceremony, and I believe there are also multiple places that you can choose from to host your ceremony within the space.

Beautiful in the spring. I have not been at other times. Someone with me was using a mobility scooter and she had no problems with any of the paths. Very nice garden and it is free.

Nice place to hang out and relax. Free to visit and plenty of open gardens to admire. I'd probably be more impressed if the gardens were more vibrant but perhaps it's a time of year problem! I loved the air bee and bee (Hehe) and the chemical / science facts scattered around the place! I'd recommend visiting for a slower day or if you want to chill out.

Best place to clear your mind!! I went here with my girlfriend since we had the day off. Since it was our first time visiting here we didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what the garden theme but wow for me personally it was amazing since I love the Japanese culture. And the garden had a lot of Japanese plants and trees. Will definitely go again!!

When you can get lost in a garden for hours, you know it is a memory for a lifetime. Enjoy the paths to walk so down and enjoy the roses. Thanks for a beautiful experience.
