Greensboro Arboretum

The Greensboro Arboretum is a botanical garden organized into distinct themed sections showcasing roses, butterflies, and medicinal plants. Across its grounds you will find paved walkways connecting different plant collections and garden areas spread throughout the property.

This garden took shape during the late 1980s through planning efforts by community members and officially opened in 1999. The early years focused on establishing the initial landscape and developing the different plant sections.

Locals and visitors come together throughout the year to explore the gardens and learn about plants that grow naturally in this region. The space serves as a gathering place where people connect with nature without leaving the city.

The garden is free to visit daily and has parking areas plus paved pathways suitable for visitors with varying mobility needs. You can navigate easily and spend as much time exploring as you wish.

The garden features native plants that shift their appearance with each season as different species bloom and fruit throughout the year. These plants attract local bird and butterfly species that visit the gardens regularly.
