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.
