The Sir Walter Raleigh Garden occupies more than an acre of land. It is a formal English garden that was designed and constructed to commemorate the attempted colonization of Roanoke Island in 1584. This garden includes several mini gardens including the Holly Maze, the Fountain Courtyard, the Sunken Garden, the Ceremonial Courtyard, and the Herb Garden.

The Atkins Hillside Garden includes a winding river rock stream with five bridges, waterfalls, pools, and the Falls Overlook, a gazebo surrounded by diverse plant material. The gazebo provides space for small outdoor lectures or quiet repose and viewing before continuing your visit in the gardens.
