Head On Out For Dallas Blooms!!
Hooray for flowers!! It's time again for the Dallas Blooms festival at the Dallas Arboretum. The 2008 theme is The Star of Texas, and one of the best things about our great state - the incredible beauty of the arboretum - will be highlighted throughout the festival.
In addition to the usual beauty of the arboretum, there will be a giant flower-filled star and other theme-inspired topiaries that will fill the gardens. See ya' there!!
Running from March 8 through April 13, the 2008 festival is a fun-filled five-week, six-weekend event.
Enjoy The Flowers Before You Get There!

Oh man, I wish I could see you there! I want to get to my sis' too in Alabama, never been there, but she tells me of all the things I could do with an essentially 4 season growing season. I's a jealous girl :) living up here in the midwest. Posted February 29, 2008 |
