May 4, 2008


Dallas, Texas has a Botanical Gardens that is listed as a Gem to see in AAA Club Tour Book.


This map shows how extensive the gardens area is.


Unlike a lot of Botanical Gardens we seen in the past, this one had blooming plants all over the gardens. Others had areas that were being worked on or not in bloom.
