Overview

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden connects visitors with plants and the natural world through public display gardens, horticultural research and education. Its seasonal festivals and outdoor concerts accompany garden visits, while school field trips, outreach lessons and camps bring hands-on science to children. The Trial Gardens evaluate plants, and teacher workshops and adult classes extend learning beyond school programs. Admissions, memberships and donations support its work, alongside support from the Dallas Park and Recreation Department. Its nonprofit operator, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Society, was incorporated in 1974, and the organization is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
