Visit the Gardens
Just minutes from the beach, you can discover an oasis of lush greens, seasonal blooms, dapple-shaded paths and ancient statuary at The Elizabethan Gardens. This site was designed to pay tribute to the Elizabethan colonist who once walked these Roanoke Island shores.
Seasonal changes bring an array of flowering plants, shrubs and trees that draw visitors to return again and again. A monumental bronze sculpture of Queen Elizabeth I, ancient marble Italian statuary and the solitary figure of Virginia Dare provide continuity to constantly changing flora. Horticultural collections and annual color planted every season gives The Gardens a different perspective throughout the year.
