Has anyone ever done this, and if so do they have any idea how much it costs?

There's a number on the website, I know, but I am asking for my roommate and he was just wondering if somebody had a general figure (and since I have a laptop right now I get to make the thread).

Any info would be appreciated.

I assume for a wedding?

Expect around $2000.

Yeah this would be for a wedding.

7/30/2006 12:48:50 AM

yeah, and if not that, any ideas of another place around here outside to get married that wouldn't be so expensive?

but the arboretum is number one on the list now

Too bad, i already picked the white garden at the arboretum!!! It's beautiful and was much cheaper than i expected.

7/31/2006 6:06:29 PM

so how much is it?

7/31/2006 6:31:45 PM

500

yes the Arboretum is a very beautiful place. first time I was there was for decidedly non-happy circumstances, but I've been back a few times since. I'm not a big nature person, but I love it...

My grandpa had a squash garden that was more attractive that the JC Raulston Arboretum. At least they're trying.

Why bother renting it? Just crash the place. It's in the ghetto, I assure you the cops won't respond.

[Edited on July 31, 2006 at 9:46 PM. Reason : or is it hanged]

why don't you post pictures of your garden before you shit on something that takes a lot of money to run and keep up?

7/31/2006 9:48:01 PM

I agree, it does waste WAY TOO MUCH MONEY. I'm glad you brought that point up.

[Edited on July 31, 2006 at 9:54 PM. Reason : Granted, my grandpa's squash garden didn't have a visitors center.]

the arboretum isn't just a public garden maintained by the state of north carolina. they do a lot of development of new varieties and such, and it is also a resource for nurserymen and home gardeners.
