The Elizabethan Gardens

Located on Roanoke Island in Manteo, NC – The Elizabethan Gardens overlooks Roanoke Sound and is nine miles from the Atlantic coastline in Nags Head. It was established as a tribute to the first English Colonists in the New World - at the site of the original settlement. The ten-acre site has an array of flowering plants, shrubs, and trees. One of the key aspects of The Elizabethan Gardens’ mission is to inspire an appreciation of its unique history, gardening, nature and the environment.
