Greensboro Arboretum

401 Ashland Drive, Greensboro, NC 27403

Use on-street parking on Ashland Drive or the West Market ballfield lot at 3299 Starmount Drive. Choose the side closest to the garden feature you need.

The public garden follows posted seasonal park closing times and is weather dependent. It is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas; confirm the current closing time before an evening visit.

Casual public garden access is free. Garden reservations and paid professional photography require fees and permits; a reservation does not make the whole garden exclusive.

Public restrooms are listed as an accessible garden feature. Availability can change with maintenance and seasonal park operations.

The paved walking trail, public garden, and restrooms are identified as reasonably accessible by mobility device. Some garden edges and secondary surfaces may differ.

A paved walking trail connects the 17-acre garden and its collections. This is a garden stroll rather than a long natural-surface hike.

Families can explore plant collections, bridges, fountain, overlook, arbor, and changing seasonal displays. Supervise children around water, plants, events, and photography sessions.

Follow posted City garden rules for pets and keep any permitted dog leashed and out of planted beds. Special events or reserved garden areas may be more restrictive.

Use designated public areas without blocking paths or reserved events. Contact the City for weddings, professional photography, exclusive setups, or organized gatherings.

Highlights include the Kaplan Family Rose Garden, landmark arbor, wedding gazebo, scenic overlook, fountain, bridges, and 14 permanent plant collections.

Weather, horticultural work, weddings, events, photography, and seasonal closing times can affect access to individual features. Check posted notices before a feature-specific visit.
