Dallas Arboretum—pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins, and a variety of foliage
Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is perhaps my favorite arboretum in the U.S. And when it’s autumn, a tour of the grounds is so much fun. According to their website, “Over 65,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash come together to form the nationally acclaimed Pumpkin Village.”
This year in the Pumpkin Village contained three pumpkin houses plus pumpkins galore. Many more pumpkins were spread around the 66 acres.
Another asset of the Dallas Arboretum is its location on White Rock Lake. The infinity pool gives the illusion that it runs into the lake whereas it is perhaps a quarter of a mile from the lake.
Bright splashes of flowers constantly attract the eye.
