Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Located in Fort Raleigh National Historic Site in Manteo, North Carolina, next to The Lost Colony’s Waterside Theatre, The Elizabethan Gardens consist of ten acres of lush plants and spectacular art. As the seasons change, the displayed sculptures change their background, from fragrant blooms to verdant shrubs and majestic leafy trees. Among the most significant sculptures are a bronze sculpture of Queen Elizabeth I, ancient Italian Renaissance statues and the solitary figure of Virginia Dare. The gardens offer summer programs for children, beautiful water views, a prize-winning collection of camellias, native plants from the region, azaleas, crape myrtles, hydrangeas, conifers and seasonal blooms and a range of events. There are regular plants sales, workshops, seasonal events and picnics on the Great Lawn.
