It’s time to leave 2020 behind and look forward to a new year! To kick off 2021 and encourage people to enjoy the gardens and the outdoors, the Dallas Arboretum offers $5 general admission beginning January 2 for the entire month. Tickets must be purchased online. Parking is $15 or $10 if purchased online in advance. The Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden is closed for preventative maintenance January 2nd to February 19th.
Dave Forehand, Dallas Arboretum’s vice president of gardens, said, “The theme of this year is renewal, and we’re ready to get outdoors for some fresh air. We encourage those who are able to make a goal to walk our one-mile fitness trail at the Dallas Arboretum. Plus, you can see our gardeners preparing for our upcoming Dallas Blooms festival, which starts on Feb. 20. This year’s theme is ‘America the Beautiful,’ so appropriate for the times!”
For those who want to enjoy an elegant, three-course Friendship Tea, the dates are January 2– February 20 for guests 13 and older. Prices are $39 per person for traditional tea and $49 per person for champagne tea and include parking and admission to the garden. Friendship Teas are held on the DeGolyer Loggia and Restaurant DeGolyer. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 214.515.6511 or purchased online at www.dallasarboretum.org.
