Arboretum
To many, the park's Arboretum and Fragrance Garden represents a true measure of
Tanglewood's natural and striking beauty. The magnificent Arboretum, nestled behind
Tanglewood's historic Manor House, is a public garden. It contains diverse collections
of native flora, herbs, and many other landscape materials which are planted and
maintained for the education of landscape professionals, area youth and adults,
as well as the enjoyment of residents and visitors of Piedmont North Carolina.
The Arboretum at Tanglewood also provides an enchanting and picturesque setting
for weddings, receptions and community gatherings throughout the year. Today, the
arboretum is carefully maintained by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service with assistance
from the Forsyth County Master
Gardeners. For more information about reserving the Arboretum for your special
occasion, please contact the Tanglewood Sales Department at (336)778-6310.
