    What!

    The Dallas Arboretum tests numerous annuals, sub- tropicals, bulbs, herbaceous perennials, and woody plants to determine the best plants for the unique climate of north Texas. Our challenging climate is the perfect place to find the toughest plants alive. Receive advance information on our recommended plant list for the next growing season! Afterwards, dinner will be provided in our trial gardens while you visit with our plug and seed suppliers and local growers to find availability on the plants we promote! Reserve a table to showcase your company. After the tours, please be our guest to visit the gardens until 9 pm.

    The Dallas Arboretum is also host to the only All- American Selections Trial in Texas, the oldest and largest seed testing trial program in the nation.
