Meet the Keepers

Stop by the Charlotte Brody Discovery Garden to chat with the gardeners who care for the bees, chickens, and edible plants in this beloved garden space. Just look for staff and volunteers wearing Duke Gardens shirts—they're happy to chat about what they're working on that day. This is a relaxed, drop-in experience suitable for all ages, so there's no need to sign up ahead of time. Keep in mind that children will need an adult with them during the visit. The activity is free, though parking does have a fee. The garden features a mix of paved and unpaved paths with some uneven ground and gentle slopes, so wear appropriate footwear. If you have questions beforehand, you can reach the gardens team at 919-668-1701 or GardensEducation@duke.edu.
