Acres of beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens on the former DeGolyer and Camp estates on the shores of White Rock Lake. It's a great place for a leisurely walk to enjoy the wonderful flowers and other plants. Also very child friendly. More

I've gone in the spring to see the tulips as well as in the fall to see the pumpkins. Both are so beautiful. I can't remember if I have ever gone when there hasn't been an 'exhibit' but it is beautiful More

I went back in April for Easter weekend with my mother. Now, my mother loves plants so she was in heaven looking at all of the different species and the variety of flowers growing. For me, I have tried to keep various plants alive but appear to have a black thumb and appreciate flower more from a different, en mass.... More
