We've been camping near Fayetteville, a city of about 200,000, the county seat of Cumberland County, North Carolina. It is located in the Sandhills in the western part of the Coastal Plain region, on the Cape Fear River. There is an abundance of pine trees, hardwoods, and magnolias where hosts of robins and mockingbirds thrive in large numbers!
Strolling around Cape Fear Botanical Gardens is a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning! Over 60 weddings take place in the Gazebo every year. One had just concluded before we arrived. I'm of the opinion that the Spring or Fall might be a more optimum environment for an outdoor wedding in the heat and somewhat oppressive humidity this time of the year!
The Garden is located on seventy-seven acres between the Cape Fear River and Cross Creek, a mere two miles from downtown Fayetteville. Founded in 1989, the Garden is very proud to display more than 2,000 varieties of ornamental plants and has several specialty gardens, including Camellia, Daylily and Hosta gardens.

Several farmhouses, barns, a tobacco shed complete with curing ovens, a two-holer outhouse, as well as farm implements and equipment add to the charm of the Gardens. Nice!
