Defintiely worth a visit more than once. 4.5 Stars round up for the unique greenhouse plants 01133 read more

I was confused by the distinction between the village, the gardens, and the house. I was also confused by the fact that the parking lots around the house all had signs saying the gates closed at 5, but this did not actually happen and apparently the gates open from the inside anyway so I guess you could park there and stay until sunset and walk the gardens? I wish all of this had been more clear. Having said that, in substance, the space was fantastic. Offering an extensive set of trails through wetlands and manicured gardens, this was an area where you could spend more time than I had. The house tour costs money, but walking around the gardens is free and a worthwhile endeavor. read more

The surrounding area has a colonial architecture vibe. Since it's still early in Spring, not many plants have bloomed yet. I would have better luck seeing flowers and crops if I came in later like in April or May. Otherwise, it was worthwhile to go through and admire the plants that are there. read more

Beautiful and spacious. Vibrant and lively. Lots of greenhouses, lots of businesses with some added uniqueness that adds to the value. Lots of people who come for the same reason, to get away from the hustle of life. The gardens and pathways through them are absolutely beautiful and quite a wonder to see. read more

My Wife, Daughter, Son-in-Law and I visited the visited the Gardens today. I must say my first visit was amazing. An employee, Michell, was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. I can't thank her enough. If you visit, the greenhouses are a must see along with the tulip beds. We will be back very soon to tour the house and additional property. WOW, what a Gem. read more

We had visitors from out of town and were taking them to some locations in the area we thought they might like. Reynolda Gardens came to mind and we decided to visit on a Sunday afternoon. The gardens are on the grounds of the Reynolda estate created by tobacco magnate R. J. Reynolds and his wife in the early 1900's. The country estate encompassed more than 1,000 acres. Today the gardens include 125 acres of woodlands, fields, wetlands, and a 4-acre formal garden with greenhouse. We decided to check out the formal gardens area. There are all kinds of flowering plants and trees surrounding the area. Many of the plants have labels so you know what they are. We enjoyed our time walking around and would love to come back at various stages of the year and also go inside the greenhouse. Parking and garden area is free. read more

Even when I went in the winter, Reynolda Gardens has a quiet charm. There may not be as much greenery or blooming flowers, but the stillness of the gardens really gives you a place to deeply contemplate life. Going there feels like you are taking a step back in time to a simpler time. I really look forward to visiting again, especially in the spring to really see everything in its full blooming glory :) read more

Oh my, these gardens are a must see if you are in the area. They are beautiful and well maintained. Park and walk the gardens free of charge. Leashed dogs are allowed on the property, but not in the gardens. There are paved pathways and benches. The gardens offer numerous varieties of plants to view. If you want some of the plants to take home, I highly recommend attending their annual plant sale. They sell many of the shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials, and vines at reasonable prices. Overall, these gardens are a great place to visit especially on a nice day. read more

Beautiful gem in Winston Salem! Stroll around the flowers, plants, vegetable garden, and the wonderful area called Reynolda village. Lots of color, lots of unusual flowers, just such a pretty part of town that I'd never taken advantage of before. So glad I took the time to come out here. Not overly big, but just enough to see , talk a nice walk and then go get something to eat or drink in the village. Greenhouses full of plants, Rose garden, lots of beautiful tomatoes! I took my Mom and she totally loved it as she is very much a gardener. Found lots of unusual flowers which I'll look up or look for next year when we redo the yard. Loved this place. read more

Located about 3 miles from downtown Winston-Salem is the estate of RJ Reynolds. The home is actually an art museum, you can pay to enter but the gardens are free. There are many walking trails to enjoy nature. Parking is free and plentiful. If you walk past the gardens you will get to the village which has shops and several popular eateries. There are acres of gardens to walk through though it was just before spring when we visited so not a whole lot of flowers yet. There are several greenhouses as well as events they have throughout the year. read more

The Reynolda Gardens are a beautiful place to spend some time strolling. The gardens are a part of Wake Forest University. This was my first time visiting the gardens and I enjoyed the autumn colors as well as all the plants in the gardens. I will be back to see the plant changes in other seasons as each season has its unique beauty. Admission is free and there is plenty of parking. The garden design seem well planned out and symmetrical. The gardens are divided into different sections. A formal garden is where I started with some roses and sections based on colors. The middle sections was growing vegetables and herbs. The last section I visited had many varieties of roses. The greenhouse was closed because of COVID. This was a safe outing during COVID as it was easy to keep a safe distance from others. read more

Free open to the public garden for a relaxing afternoon walkabout. Check out the Reynolda House next door and Reynolda Village nearby.

This place is so worth a visit if you've never seen it. Beautifully manicured gardens, well maintained walking trails and plenty of nearby food shops to undo all of that walking. This is one of our go to places for a walk. read more

Absolutely love coming here! We live about 8 minutes away now, and so pretty much come here weekly now with the weather warming up! The garden area itself is currently undergoing renovations as of this writing, but I expect that should be done very soon to open back up for the warm weather. This place is beautiful, quiet, zen, peaceful, and impressive with such a variety of flowers, plants, herbs, and nice spots to sit and take it all in. Of course, coming here also includes everything else Reynolda has to offer, including the walking trails. Come by yourself, a romantic partner, or even bring your kids if you're a masochist. After all, having kids doesn't stop you from doing the things you love...they just ruin the experience is all! But it is a nice challenge to enjoy the gardens while keeping an eye out that the kids aren't stomping on flowers or trying to pick anything! On second thought, might want to leave the kids with a sitter if it's an option. If not, better to come here with kids than to stay home! read more

How couldn't you love the Reynolda Gardens? We stopped in after grabbing donuts and coffee at Dough Joe's l. The sights of the garden were fantastic! Beautiful and fragrant flowers in bloom, lots of little frogs in the ponds, and some really great vegetable plants to take a peak at in various stages of bloom. Overall a very beautiful place to take a stroll. read more

The gardens are beautiful and a great place to visit after visiting the Reynolda Home. The gardens are free and there were so many beautiful flowers in bloom in July. The tropical flower building was closed in July yet there was plenty to see outside. Next door are shops and the Village area and it is all within walking distance. read more

Beautiful gardens...some areas were not in bloom or in the process of fading. Lots of space to walk around, take pictures, some shaded areas to relax in...the vegetable garden was being worked by many people and a couple in the greenhouse too. Everyone was friendly, nice smiles and at least a hello. read more
