2. UNC-Charlotte Botanical Gardens

The Most Amazing Gardens You Never Expected
The UNC Charlotte botanical gardens are the most amazing gardens I have seen in the area. Not only are they beautiful and have great places to gather and relax, but right across the street is the UNC Charlotte greenhouse which is open to the public and has breathtaking flowers inside. These gardens should be better publicized, because to me they are one of the best kept secrets around. The entrance to the gardens is unassuming, but don't be fooled. One step into the gardens or the greenhouse and you'll be in a different world. It's amazing!
