Environmental Education Garden

Flowers in EE GardenThe Office of Environmental Education created the EE Garden in front of the Archdale Building to:

  • demonstrate sustainable North Carolina native plant species that attract butterflies, birds, and other wildlife to cities
  • serve as a training site for environmental educators to teach students about the relationship between plants and wildlife
  • encourage state employees to use the area to further their achievement of Environmental Education Certification and as a green space to work or relax, and
  • provide a model garden for other workplaces and homes to emulate.
