Juniper Level Botanic Garden (JLBG), was established in 1986 by plantsman Tony Avent, with a goal of preserving botanic diversity by sharing rare and endangered perennials and educating the public about the exciting possibilities of gardening in the Southeast. Juniper Level Botanic Garden is filled with more than 27,000 taxa of plants, including native perennials, rare plants from around the world, and an array of beautiful and unusual specimen trees and shrubs you won’t see anywhere else in the world. Learn what plants grow best in our zone and get inspired to create your own unique oasis of biodiversity.

JLBG philosophy is to make all garden-worthy plants widely available, especially those which may be rare or extinct in their natural habitat. Through our garden funding division, Plant Delights Nursery, we have introduced more than 1440 new plants to the public. By making a plant purchase you become a part of our ex-situ conservation efforts and help preserve biodiversity in the face of habitat loss and climate change.
