The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Since opening in 1984, the Dallas Arboretum has cultivated 66 acres of gardens, flowers, and wildlife with a goal of researching floral life. In keeping with that mission, the Arboretum has a “test” garden completely devoted to growing flowers and plants new to the area to see if they can survive the brutal Texas summers. The Botanical Gardens are as gorgeous as they are well-maintained. Offering many educational events, from a children’s camp to guided tours and classes for adults, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens also hosts an outdoor concert series that guests can attend while enjoying a picnic dinner. The gardens are just perfect for weddings, photo shoots, corporate events, or just a lovely walk through the flowers. No matter the time of year, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens are always in season.
