About The Bog Garden

Part of Greensboro's public garden system, this site in Benjamin Park lets visitors walk a raised boardwalk across about seven acres of natural wetland. Stone paths climb a wooded slope, and a recirculating waterfall called Serenity Falls adds the sound of moving water. Visitors can watch local plants, birds, and other wildlife. The city staffs the garden, and Greensboro Beautiful helps fund improvements through private donations. Some areas have stairs and walkways that may be hard to reach by wheelchair, and leashed dogs are allowed.
