This 23.5 acre
public garden is located within the tree-shaded 500 acres of Tyrrell
Park. It is the home of the Bert and Jack Binks Horticultural
Center and the Warren Loose Conservatory, the second
largest conservatory in a public garden in the state of Texas.
Numerous theme gardens that display camellias, modern and antique
roses, bromeliads, and native plants are connected by a paved
"Friendship Walk" which allows easy access for strollers and
wheelchairs. The many benches invite visitors to stop and rest -
and to
" take
time to smell the flowers."
A small pond is home to ducks, turtles and
Japanese Imperial koi, all of whom love to be fed - a special delight
for visiting children. A large circular drive offers ample parking space
for automobiles and tour buses.
