An Ever-Changing Tapestry of Beauty
Ponder one of the most poignant chapters in our nation’s history as you stroll The Elizabethan Gardens and enjoy a tapestry of beauty. Built as a living memorial to Sir Walter Raleigh’s lost colonists, The Gardens include a collection of Renaissance statues and Elizabethan-style buildings that let you imagine you are back in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. Spring-time tulips lead to an ever changing palette of year-round color from hydrangeas, native plants, perennials and camellias. Enjoy the colorful crepe myrtles in the Sunken Garden or the view from a sound-side 16th-century style gazebo.
The Gardens are open year-round, seven days a week. From our garden shops, enjoy the selection of plants available from their nursery, or the gift shop’s wonderful collection of statuary, gifts, books, note cards, candles, soaps, and edible delights.
Hours vary seasonally. Visitation is by paid admission.
We are located at 1411 National Park Drive Manteo, NC 27954 GPS: 35 56.2N 75 42.7w
