The Dallas Arboretum was founded upon the dreams of a few visionary Dallasites. Though the
gardens themselves are comparatively young, the work that went into creating the
current gardens began long ago:  In the early 1930's, Everette DeGolyer chaired a committee to find a landsite for an  arboretum for Dallas. Sixty years later, the concept for a botanical preserve is a reality-on the very land he once own. In 1974, the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Society (DABS) adopted bylaws, elected officers incorporated as a non-profit organization. Open daily from 9am - 5pm
