260 acres of paradise in north Houston, Texas.

Statue of founder who endowed 14.5 acres to begin garden.

Scenes/vistas in garden -

wildlife


Water features


Drifts of petunias and pansies


Wildflowers


Large sections are devoted to palms, herbs, annuals, unusuals, daylilies, natives, bog plants, and monumental plants. Spent about 4 hours there and took around 500 photos (many added to database here). Didn't have time to explore the arboretum side.
They also have large greenhouses and a nice gift shop.
