About the Medicinal Gardens Map

This map shows locations of various medicinal gardens throughout the world (although mostly in the United States). It was prepared by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This map is not intended to be an inclusive list of every medicinal garden in the world; however, we are happy to add to it if you notice any obvious omissions. Please contact wilsonlibrary@unc.edu to make suggestions.
