A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words

Named by Southern Living as one of ‘The Best Places to See Stunning Spring Blooms Across the South,’ the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden proudly presents Dallas Blooms, the largest annual floral festival in the Southwest presented by Amegy Bank.

This spectacular event showcases 500,000 spring blooming bulbs, representing 120 varieties, with a breathtaking display of 350,000 tulips and a mix of hyacinths and daffodils. As the festival unfolds, the garden transforms with vibrant azaleas and cherry trees, creating a stunning burst of color. This year’s theme, ‘A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words,’ brings larger-than-life living selfie walls, adding a fun photo opportunity to the Dallas Blooms experience.
