Tanglewood Park Arboretum and Rose Garden

Tanglewood Park Arboretum and Rose Garden is a botanical garden in Clemmons featuring small trees, dwarf conifers, and hundreds of rose bushes arranged across themed sections. The grounds include specialized areas dedicated to butterflies, herbs, and winter plantings.

The park was established in 1921 by William Neal Reynolds and his wife, then transferred to Forsyth County residents in 1951. This handover transformed it into a public resource for the community.

This place serves as a learning center where visitors can attend workshops and discover more about plants and regional gardening techniques. The monthly classes offer practical knowledge for amateur gardeners of all levels.

The grounds are open daily to visitors and easy to explore, as the gardens are laid out across flat farmland. It helps to arrive earlier in the day to see the plants at their best and encounter fewer crowds.

The rose collection here has been recognized by the American Rose Society and includes many varieties that bloom during different times of the year. Visitors can see which roses thrive in this region and learn how to grow them successfully.
