MapleWalk Garden

MapleWalk Garden is a privately owned, Asian-influenced woodland botanical garden in Charlotte, North Carolina, created over 30 years by Master Gardeners Tom Nunnenkamp and Lib Jones. Set across 2.25 acres, this residential garden offers visitors a quiet place to enjoy distinctive trees, shrubs, and perennials, including more than 95 varieties of Japanese maple, around 90 camellia varieties, and 23 dogwood varieties. Its landscape also features stone-lined paths, boulders, and seasonal plantings.

The garden is open to the public daily from dawn to dusk, except during occasional private-event closures. Self-guided visits are free and require no appointment, while private guided tours can be arranged in advance for garden clubs, civic and social groups, and other visitors. MapleWalk has also hosted the Charlotte Camellia Society’s annual show and sale. The garden is supported by private tours and voluntary visitor donations. With its changing seasonal displays and welcoming atmosphere, MapleWalk Garden invites neighbors and gardening enthusiasts to find inspiration, beauty, or a peaceful moment outdoors.
