The UNC Charlotte botanical gardens mainly addressing the faculty students and researchers, but they are lovely. So if you have a spare hour in the city – you can enjoy it here.
It took me some time to find out where to park. I didn't know that the gardens have some reserved parking places in parking lot 16A just next to the greenhouse, but I found a parking place in the main building, and it was right in front of one of the garden's gates.
