The Dallas Arboretum was founded upon the dreams of a few visionary Dallasites. Though the
gardens themselves are comparatively young, the work that went into creating the
current gardens began long ago:
- In the early 1930's, Everette DeGolyer chaired a committee to find a landsite for an
arboretum for Dallas. Sixty years later, the concept for a botanical preserve is a reality-on
the very land he once owned.
- In 1974, the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Society (DABS) adopted bylaws, elected officers
and incorporated as a nonprofit organization.
