About Greensboro Arboretum

The Greensboro Arboretum covers about 17 acres and is run with support from Greensboro Beautiful. Its grounds hold 14 plant collections, including conifers, hostas, roses, rhododendrons, hollies, and shade and sun plantings, along with display gardens, a butterfly garden, a meadow, and sculptures. Visitors can walk a woodland trail through second-growth forest, and the site is certified as a Monarch Waystation. The garden is open every day of the year, and leashed dogs are allowed except in the children's area. Group events and weddings are booked through the City of Greensboro.
