Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Dallas

Jul-16-2010 By Christine

Last year alone, over 541,000 visitors from approximately 50 countries took a look at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden . It’s a destination that any nature lover in Texas should attend. The Arboretum itself has been named among the top three arboretums in the United States. Not only was this facility named one of the top ten places to visit in the country, it’s also one of the 14 best places in the world in which to see spring flowers.

Take your choice of any hotel Dallas provides its travelers, and then make your way to White Rock Lake and the 66 acres of the Arboretum, where you’ll find in progress a kind of life science lab, which provides educational and cultural opportunities to all its visitors.

The gardens opened to the public for the first time in 1984, just 26 years ago, but the idea for The Arboretum began in the early 1930s, when Everette De Golyer was the chair of a committee in which to find a land-site for a botanical garden in Dallas. In 1982, the City of Dallas and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Society signed a contract to create the internationally renowned gardens. The Arboretum is a perfect place to educate families and kids about horticulture, or to simply indulge in nature and relax.
