Arborcrest Gardens to Remain Closed for the 2026 Season.

Due to severe damage from Hurricane Helene, we are unable to welcome visitors this year. Please read the full story of our recovery and how you can help on our Home Page.

Group Tour Reservations

We welcome large groups to explore our 26-acre botanical garden with a 1.5-hour guided educational riding tour. We must limit group size to 12 or 18-24 people. We are only able to accommodate vans or mini buses less than 24 feet in length. No full-size motorcoaches are permitted. 

  • Tours are available on Thursdays, 10:30 or 1 PM starting time, during April – November. 

  • If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible to allow another group to book. 

  • While there is no admission fee, we certainly appreciate and depend upon donations. The typical donation for groups averages $30/person. We prefer that group leaders pay with one check or collect cash for us. 

  • Only valid service animals, as protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, are allowed

  • Restrooms available on-site.

Location: 174 Evergreen Lane in Boone, NC. Directions via Google Maps can be found here.
