While it was still too early during our visit for spring blooms, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden features 30 acres of spectacular gardens including a children’s garden, a conservatory dedicated to the display of tropical plants and orchids, the Dry Piedmont Prairie, annual and perennial displays, sparkling fountains, walking trails and more. The beautifully designed gardens with water features are captured below.
Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is a botanical garden located on 380 acres of rolling meadows, woodlands and lakefront property in Belmont, North Carolina. The William H. Williamson, III, Orchid Conservatory is the Carolinas’ only 8,000-square-foot, five-story glass house dedicated to a display of orchids and tropical plants. Our camera club – Catawba Valley Camera Club, Hickory – visited the orchid conservatory a few months back and we are posting images from that trip.
During our visit there was an art exhibition by local students – old doors and shutters painted with orchid artwork.
