The 66-acre Dallas Arboretum is one of the world’s premier gardens, and certainly one of the most colorful. Local residents have deemed this urban oasis to be the “crowning jewel” of Dallas. As one of the city’s top attractions, it also garners repeat visits from members, local visitors to out-of-town guests, who have strong praise for its beautiful vistas, 15 colorful display gardens, and groves of pecan trees, magnolias, crape myrtles, cherry trees and azaleas.
Accolades from individuals and media outlets alike are testimony to the important role we play.
Here is what people are saying about The Dallas Arboretum:
"Its world-class tulip show is the best spot this side of Holland to see these beautiful flowers."
Southern Living Magazine, March 2011

“Perhaps we in Dallas toss around the phrase "world class" too liberally.
But in the case of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens,
it happens to be appropriate. ”
Bob Miller, Dallas Morning News – Read Article

“I have been all over the nation, and the Dallas Arboretum is, by far,
the most beautiful garden I have ever seen.”
Charles Osgood, CBS Radio Network

“I love my on air job, but there is nothing I love more than
spending
time with my 1 year old son. The Arboretum provides the
perfect
backdrop for mother/ son time!”
