NC Botanical Garden

Spring flower bulbs are just beginning to poke out of the ground at the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill.  Today, the "conservation garden" manages nearly 1,100 acres of land, including natural areas, gardens, and easements.  Since it's  inception, the North Carolina Botanical Garden has grown under the leadership of two previous directors.  This spring, a new director from Texas will leave his mark.  Mac McKee has more.
