Since 1986 the major goal of the Women’s Council has been the design, construction, funding and endowment of A Woman’s Garden at The Dallas Arboretum. A Woman’s Garden is the only public garden in the nation conceived by women, funded by the efforts of women and dedicated to the spirit of women. Phase I opened in September 1997 and Phase II in March 2006. Efforts continue to expand and improve this fabulous garden in the center of the Arboretum.
Financial support for A Woman’s Garden comes primarily from fundraising events, as well as generous donor gifts towards named features in the Garden. The Women’s Council plans many events such as A Writer’s Garden, which is a series of book reviews; three general membership meetings with programs; group trips; and the well-known Mad Hatter’s Tea party.
