The Arboretum Is in Full Bloom

Get in touch with your hippie side at Dallas Blooms.

The Dallas Arboretum has always been one of my favorite places in the city, in springtime especially. There’s a nice breeze off the lake and the sun is out. And then there are the tulips. The tulips of all different colors are part of the 500,000 spring-blooming bulbs that make their appearance during the Dallas Blooms festival, starting tomorrow and running through April 9. This year’s theme is Peace, Love, and Flower Power. So you can guess that the scenery has a 60s vibe.

The coolest part of Dallas Blooms has to be the donated vintage Volkswagen Beetles that are covered in flowers. I saw them this morning while strolling through the Arboretum, and they are flat-out amazing. But there will be many cool installations and events throughout the festival, so you should go see for yourself. And read Kathy’s “Tripping Tulips” piece in D Magazine‘s March issue for more info about what to expect.
