Airlie Gardens is a garden in Wilmington, North Carolina. It is listed at 300 Airlie Rd, Wilmington, NC 28403, which places it among the local businesses of Wilmington that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as tourist attraction, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Farm stands, orchards and public gardens round out a trip to the garden center. Farm shops and stands sell produce, eggs, honey and often vegetable starts and hanging baskets in spring; orchards and u-pick farms open for strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples and pumpkins in season; Christmas tree farms sell choose-and-cut and pre-cut trees and wreaths from late November. Botanical and public gardens, arboretums and conservatories are good places to see which plants thrive locally, and community gardens rent plots and share tools and knowledge.
