Elizabethan Gardens, Manteo

We visited the gardens for the butterfly release and enjoyed it immensely. Our daughters loved watching the butterflies come to life and fly away before their eyes. The staff educated us on what butterflies enjoy and what we could add to our gardens to keep them happy and returning. We were even able to purchase a few plants at the small greenhouse they have on the grounds. Not to mention the beauty and serenity of the gardens. All of the hydrangeas were in full bloom and beautiful. It was like walking through a fairytale.

My fiance and myself visited here during our vacation and we had a wonderful time. Beautiful walking paths, gorgeous flowers, trees and other plants. The butterfly room was also nice and a lot of fun. Learned a little history thanks to some of signs and plaques posted around the gardens, which is nice for a history buff like myself. We spent hours walking the paths and taking in the sights. Fully recommend for everyone of all ages. It's a beautiful, almost magical place to visit.
