Located at historic Fair Park in Dallas,
Texas Discovery Gardens is a year-round organic urban oasis
filled with natural wonders for visitors of all ages. Ten
different themed areas include a butterfly habitat,
native wildlife pond, scent garden, shade garden and
heirloom garden.
At family events offered throughout the year, children and
parents can share the experience of being amazed and
inspired by nature's intricate web of life. Gardening
workshops and guided tours provide expert advice on using
native and adapted plants to create backyard habitats for
butterflies, birds and other native wildlife.
At Texas Discovery Gardens, visitors discover a wealth of
information on ways to restore, conserve and preserve
natural environments in urban areas.
