- In 1977, the City of Dallas Park Board recommended that the grounds of the DeGolyer
estate, which the City had purchased from Southern Methodist University, be the official
location of the botanical garden. The City encouraged DABS to raise funds for the initial
costs.
- During 1978 and 1979, DABS membership increased and DABS obtained civic and business
awareness for support of the arboretum project.
- By 1980, DABS had raised over one million dollars and purchased the
22-acre Camp Estate,
which is adjacent to the DeGolyer Estate. Both
estates are located on White Rock Lake.
