A Woman's Garden | The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

Posted by Dallas Arboretum in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Oct 01, 2009

A Woman’s Garden opened in 1997 and is located on a 1.8-acre plot in the back of the historic Everette DeGolyer Home. A Woman's Garden was a gift to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens by its Women's Council.

Overlooking White Rock Lake, A Woman's Garden is dedicated to the spirit and essence of women by providing a tranquil and picturesque setting where visitors can relax and enjoy the view of A Woman's Garden at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

Designed by Morgan Wheelock, the first aspect of A Woman's Garden features seven botanical garden rooms including the Poetry Garden, the Reflective Basin, the Majestic Alleé, the Stepped Fountain, the Pulpit Garden, the Harmony Repose Garden and the Serenity Oak Garden.

The second phase of A Woman's Botanical Garden at the Dallas Arboretum was completed in the spring of 2006 and includes the Genesis Garden the Rockery, Dogwood Trace, the Acequia and the Grotto among others.
