Sculpted & Soaring Skyward offers visitors the rare opportunity to stroll five distinctive private Chapel Hill area gardens where unique visions of beauty, preservation, sustainability and design are on full display. See stunning spring blooms, majestic trees and rock formations on the National Historic Register, a certified wildlife and butterfly sanctuary, a soothing Japanese-inspired design, and a plant collector’s paradise. Learn from knowledgeable experts at each location. And don’t miss the North Carolina Botanical Garden, and their affiliated Carolina Community Garden and American Indian Cultural Garden.

Since 1931, members of the Chapel Hill Garden Club have served our community with countless beautification and educational offerings and have championed good stewardship of the environment. The 2026 Tour marks our 15th biennial Springtime gift to our community.
