Exhibit Greenhouse
The exhibit greenhouse is one of three programmatic venues that together make up the Baker Exhibit Center at The North Carolina Arboretum.
Along with the museum exhibit hall, the exhibit greenhouse hosts’ interactive, interpretive displays linked to main exhibit hall topics illustrating key Arboretum mission concepts of the value of plants through topics in horticulture and plant science, environmental science, art and craft, and economic development. The exhibits are designed and installed using Arboretum creativity and expertise and change three times annually.
As backdrop to the changeable exhibit themes visitors will experience “Stories from A Springhouse” structures that recreate the environs of an authentic mountain springhouse that interprets traditional connections between people and plants in the region and their vital role in Blue Ridge ecology, economy, aesthetics and community. This project was supported by the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area.
