Here is something you dont see every day. Tucked away between a school and a neighborhood this little gem is the perfect place to see a garden of carnivorous plants. Very nice!

Short walk along path to reach Carnivorous Plants. There are stone stepping stone trails that go through the area for up close look at plants.

Great little park displaying carnivorous plant and bog type of nature.

Fun litle park to get away from the city for a little bit

Calling all plant nerds...this place is AMAZING! The Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden at Piney Ridge Nature Preserve. Its tucked behind a school, youd never know its there. From a distance it doesnt look like much, but once youre down on the trail, youre surrounded by carnivorous plants, many native to North Carolina. Its free and there is a flat walkway and overlook, so its accessible to all. Kids and dogs are best kept on the wooden overlooks.

Very green little park! Its tucked away right where you wouldnt expect it to be. It has permeable concrete trails as well as dirt trails, and a little wooden jut-out with seats. Paved stone trails cut through the plant life so you can get up very close to look at the carnivorous little buggers. Its so cool! Its a little swampy oasis in the city.

Lovely little preserve tucked away from the main drag, informative and well maintained.

Short little path, but awesome experience seeing native carnivorous plants! This is perfect if you have little ones as they will enjoy the venus fly traps.

Super cool!! I’ve walked for hours at Carolina Beach State Park looking for the plants that I saw here in just five minutes.

What a beautiful gift from our Mother nature! Native only in Wilmington NC, awesome!

Beautiful little garden with very unique little plants

We walked through and saw all of the species of carnivorous plants and a lot1or bug! We wore bug spray. We picked up a couple of ge1icaches while here, too. H1elli from Texas

A treasure. Love the carnivorous plants pathway and educational placards. Took my 8 and 14 year old children and they loved it.

Educational and beautiful. Its a pleasantly peaceful place

What a great trail. I definitely plan on coming back.

You have to look really close, but well worth the stop.

Beautiful park and an easy walk. The carnivorous plant reserve is really neat.

Interesting plants.

Very lovely
