Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is a 66 acre (267,000 m²) botanical garden located at 8617 Garland Road in east Dallas, Texas (USA), on the southeastern shore of White Rock Lake.
The arboretum is a series of gardens and fountains with a view of the lake and the downtown Dallas skyline. Additionally there is an outdoor concert stage, picnic areas, and set of kid size replicas of dwellings and other structures depicting prairie life in the "Texas Pioneer Adventure." It is a great place for taking pictures and one can spot many brides-to-be having their portrait made.
Among the plants and horticulture is a collection of azaleas that includes 2,400 varieties. The Dallas climate allows visitors to find flowers in bloom year round.
