Delbert Hunter Arboretum and Botanical Garden — Attraction in Dallas

I love to walk the nature paths. I learn something new with each stroll. Fact Kiosks abound !! Labeled plants w/descriptions, Types of native and invasive plants. Even history- ie; Where the many different tribe's of Native Americans had originated, how they all lived before the treaties. (Many tribes were condenced to the Gronde Ronde Reservation.) tells what languages each spoke, types of foods each ate, where and when they would hunt and gather, types of dwellings they lived in. There are many facts on our area!! It's a great way to uphold, and value our history. Even the loggers who made the flumes that sent logs from Val Setz and Black Rock area down the Rickreal creek to the Old Mill are honored and vividly depicted with facts and photos so informative,right there and real.
