Dallas Arboretum Presents Easter Weekend Activities
If your Easter plans are still “to be determined,” or you’re looking for a fun event to add to the agenda, the Dallas Arboretum has planned a weekend full of exciting activities including music, festive treats, children’s activities, and a garden full of floral backdrops perfect for Easter photos.
“Families have made visiting Easter weekend a tradition because the garden is bursting with spring blooms, one of the most glorious moments in the garden,” said Mary Brinegar, Dallas Arboretum president. “The first few weeks of April are bursting with color and feature spring blooms like petunias, salvia, sunpatiens, foxgloves and African daisies and more, so it’s a beautiful time to visit.”
