My family was blessed in the past when we were able to visit the Dallas Abortorium and Botantical Gardens. We’ve been wanting to return but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself but with Charlie Homeschooling full time and me loving Fairy Tales and Cinderella Carriage I would love to go back on a Field Trip and take the children’s books they will be using for Charlie to read in our Homeschool Reading Class. Would you like to come with us?
A Fall Fairy Tale
The 17th annual Autumn at the Arboretum, presented by Reliant, is upon us and we are excited to once again share 100,000 Pumpkins, Gourds and Squash, hailing from THE Pumpkin capital of Texas, Floydada, throughout the garden.
A Fall Fairy Tale showcases the return of Cinderella’s carriage, along with themed Pumpkin houses that make up the acclaimed Pumpkin Village. Other “gourd-eous” displays showcase classic tales of Jack and The Beanstalk, The Three Little Pigs and The Sword in the Stone and even a magic carpet ride selfie experience from One Thousand and One Nights.
Autumn at the Arboretum showcases breathtaking colors of fall including 150,000 Autumn flowers accented by Pumpkins, Gourds and Squash. The event includes the popular Mommy and Me Mondays and Tiny Tot Tuesdays, a hay bale maze, a Pumpkin Patch with Pumpkins for purchase, live music and more. The Dallas Arboretum’s popular festival is one “the Best Fall Festivals to Celebrate the Season” by Country Living Magazine.
