50 acres hosted by Carol M.

Our Mission at Clark Gardens is to inspire and demonstrate the many rich horticulture and nature-based possibilities of North Texas to tourists and residents alike. This breathtaking 50-acre oasis awakens the senses, stirs the spirit and relaxes the mind. From the first spring blossoms to the colorful fall, there is a sense of magic. Wheelchair accessible pathways wind through the gardens. Waterfalls sparkle in the sunlight, splashing down into ponds and lakes where ducks, along with other waterfowl, glide in the shimmering waters. You may see peacocks strutting, or get a glimpse of blue herons or great egrets swooping down, their huge wingspans casting shadows over the lakes. Join us and experience the beauty of nature, all four seasons of the year. Learn more about this land: Set up in the garden's front gravel parking lot or tent campers on a lawn area (designated by the garden).Across the street from Lake Mineral Wells State Park & Trailway lays a hidden gem, known as Clark Gardens. The gardens has something beautiful to showcase every season, known for its iris collection & double ruffle pink poppies. The land was purchased in the 70s by a husband and wife. Originally starting out as their private residence the couple traveled around the world drawing inspiration for what their own mesquite tree pasture could be. One of the biggest eye catching features at Clark Gardens is the English style channel gardens.In 2000 Clark Gardens opened to the general public as a 501(c)3 non-profit. Our mission is to inspire & demonstrate the many rich horticulture and nature-based possibilities of North TX to tourist and residents alike.

Magical for kids

Beautiful location, quiet and super fun for a kid. The weather was a bit chilly during our visit but the gardens were still beautiful and my daughter can’t wait to visit again!

Warm reception at check-in. Parking lot is gated in at night so felt safe as a female camping alone. Bathrooms were nice. Gardens were super cool to explore in the mornings! Convenient location near the state park.
