Posted Jul 10, 2025
At the intersection of East Cameron Avenue and Raleigh Street lies the Coker Arboretum, a lush green escape from the rest of UNC’s bustling campus. This five-acre patch of land is maintained by the North Carolina Botanical Garden. The garden features a variety of plants native to regions such as the United States, Europe, China and Japan.
