The Elizabethan Gardens are located on Roanoke Island. Founded by the Garden Club of North Carolina in 1951 , the land was leased from the Roanoke Island Historical Association in 1953. The building of what is known as an English Pleasure Garden began and to this day is a favorite destination for weddings and photo shoots for graduates, engagements and offers the perfect botanical backdrop for them. Joe Lamb Jr. & Associates is proud to be a corporate sponsor so locals and visitors alike can enjoy the culture and history of our island community.
