Coker Arboretum offers a small planted landscape on the University of North Carolina’s Chapel Hill campus.
Trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers create a quieter setting for a walk close to the university’s busy academic center.
Explore at a relaxed pace, noticing the different plant forms and the relationship between shaded paths and open spaces. The arboretum is a separate location from the botanical garden’s main display campus, so check the current directions before arriving. Follow campus and garden guidance, and confirm arrangements separately if attending an organized event. The operator still posts an arbor renovation notice for the Cameron Avenue path; check current path access before visiting. The photograph shows the arbor before this renovation.
