Shade and Amazing Attractions
From early spring when the tulips and cherry blossom trees bloom, through summer with the verdant grass, and into early fall with the beautiful color on the Crape Myrtles, Pecan Grove offers shade and amazing attractions.
Guests take lots of photos of the pumpkin houses during the fall, and enjoy calm picnics through the spring and summer.
Spring ushers in a stunning sight as over 100 blooming Japanese Cherry Trees surround the Pecan Grove. In the fall, over 90,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash come together to form the nationally acclaimed Pumpkin Village during Autumn at the Arboretum.
