If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? —Luke 12:28
Has the weather been so gorgeous that you wish you were outside or at the very least brought your laptop to work outside just to enjoy it?
My best friends and I recently had that experience just last month when we visited the Dallas Arboretum during our staycation.
It was such a lovely way to kick off the spring season! The weather was so SO perfect.
On the eve of the first day of spring, flower petals floated away from trees they once belonged to and danced in harmony with the cool breeze.
Spring was definitely in the air and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! My best friends and I strolled around for several hours taking in all the colorful tulips and various flowers.
It was just what I needed after the last chaotic month and a half at my day job.
Because secrets don’t make friends, here’s a glimpse of our experience I’d love to share with you so keep reading to experience…
DALLAS ARBORETUM: A PICTURE’S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
If you’ve never visited the Arboretum before, I can promise you that you’ll feel joy wash over you as soon as you walk past the gates and around the corner.
You get a glimpse, a snippet of Heaven if you will, being surrounded by all the colorful flowers. The trees, grass, and bushes are a brighter green. And for some reason, the stress seems to melt away.
How could you not be happy seeing this much color?!
While there were colorful flowers everywhere, there were also white flowers that made my neutral heart happy too.
I had no idea how many kinds variety of tulips there were. In the end, the fringe tulips ended up being my favorite. It’s as if God took of pair of crafting scissors and added the finishing touches to the edges of the petals.
And nearly around every corner were tall flowering bushes like these below.
We then came across this big clearing. I had to take a few steps back to snap this picture-perfect picnic area.
Of course, I had to snap my newest manicure that were matching these gorgeous pink and white flowers.
TRAILS & GARDENS
As I mentioned in my fall article, the Arboretum has a ton of trails and gardens. It’s so amazing to see how different the foliage looks!
The wisteria were coming in and looked so beautiful draping down near this reflecting pool.
At the back of the Arboretum are a few water gardens such as this Lay Family Garden featuring a cave with a waterfall and beautiful Koi fish.
Some areas had mini tulip gardens like this one. These lilac tulips were so pretty!
And what’s a trip to the Dallas Arboretum without it reminding me of a bit of Central Park in New York?
FLOWER WALLS
As we were walking around, we realized that there were different flower walls set up everywhere for people to take pictures in front of! It was so beautiful! This one below was one of my favorite ones!
My best friend, Sarah, and I! Not pictured: our other bestie, Rachel, who took our photo.
And pictures don’t do justice for this gorgeous white flower tree. It just doesn’t!
FLOWERS, FLOWERS EVERYWHERE
One thing you expect when visiting the Dallas Arboretum is being surrounded by flowers! Although we visited a few weeks after these tulips fully bloomed, it was still just as beautiful!
Look at the layering of these different flowers! Such a happy vibe!
And look at God showing off with the details on this tulip!
These garnet red tulips were SO gorgeous! They were one of the few areas that had red tulips!
And look at this pairing of the purple and white tulips with the yellow and orange ones!
Even though it’s Spring, these dark tulips below added such a great fall vibe!
BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPING
How can one not use the Arboretum as THE place to get landscaping ideas? Imagine if this was your backyard!
You could literally set down a blanket and have the best picnic here!
For my fellow influencers and bloggers, how could you not snap a picture in this area?! What a snippet of Heaven!
