The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

#hellohalloween
Beyond the aesthetics, the arboretum uses its massive harvest display for great educational purposes. There are often signs detailing the variety of pumpkins and gourds used, and how they are grown. In the Test Gardens, you can see late-season planting techniques and learn how to manage a Southern garden during the transition to winter. It adds real value for the home gardener, turning the fun festival atmosphere into a learning opportunity. It's a great example of a botanic garden fulfilling its mission while still throwing an amazing seasonal party.
