The Commemorative Brick Program
Placing an engraved brick on the curving walkway of the Arboretum's peaceful Conifer Garden is a wonderful way to remember loved ones, honor friends and family, or to commemorate special occasions and milestones in your life.
The Arboretum at Tanglewood Park is one of the most beautiful and tranquil places to visit in the Triad. Managed by North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center, in partnership with Forsyth County’s Parks and Recreation Department, its serene setting highlights annual and perennial plants that grow well in the Piedmont region of NC. Thanks to the weekly garden maintenance by NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Forsyth County, the Arboretum is a beautiful place to visit throughout the year.
