The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is one of the most beautiful display gardens in North America. With over 66 acres on the shores of White Rock Lake, this nationally recognized garden has changeable displays four times a year providing breathtaking color for visitors from March through November. Holiday at the Arboretum inside the historic DeGolyer Home provides a celebrated December activity while the grounds are being planted with over 500,000 bulbs for the springtime show, Dallas Blooms. Over the course of the year, this urban oasis just minutes from downtown Dallas will attract well over 525,000 visitors to its finely manicured grounds. Whether visitors come for a weekly respite or from locations around the country, and often around the world, they will find the garden areas listed below resplendent with seasonal plantings. The Arboretum is also a popular bridal photography spot with over 300 weddings held in the gardens and facilities.
Arboretum Mission
The mission of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is to build and maintain a public venue that promotes the art, enjoyment and knowledge of horticulture, while providing opportunities for education and research. We are committed to excellence, good management and fiscal responsibility.
Arboretum Today The Arboretum was listed among the top three arboretums in the nation in Southwest Spirit Magazine, offering the public a complement of dedicated gardens, an array of popular annual events, educational programs for children and adults, and an emphasis on family-oriented activities. In 2007, we were named one of MSN’s Top Ten Places to Visit in the Country in the spring, and this year, MSN named us one of the 14 best places in the world to see spring flowers. Ground-breaking horticultural research conducted in our Trial Gardens continues to contribute to an important body of knowledge, both regionally and nationally. The Arboretum's 66 acres on White Rock Lake provide a complete life science laboratory with endless potential for discovery. During 2009, the Arboretum provided more than 86,000 visitors, mostly children, with educational programs.
Arboretum & Women’s Council: Good Friends The Dallas Arboretum is ever so grateful for the commitment and support we receive from the Women’s Council. This successful and special partnership is one of the reasons we continue to be regarded as one of the premier display gardens in this country.
We invite you to visit our website at www.dallasarboretum.org and learn more about the garden, and hope you will visit soon to just enjoy a peaceful walk through the garden, attend a concert on the lawn, take a class, or enjoy high tea. Whatever reason you happen to be in the garden, we welcome you!
