Texas Discovery Gardens

View the glory of nature – up close and personal

Texas Discovery Gardens is a year-round urban oasis filled with natural wonders for visitors of all ages.


Ten themed areas include a butterfly habitat, Master Gardeners’ Garden, native wildlife pond, scent garden, shade garden and heirloom rose garden.

The gardens offer workshops and guided tours that provide expert advice on using native and adapted plants to create backyard habitats for butterflies, birds and other native wildlife.

At Texas Discovery Gardens, visitors also discover a wealth of information on ways to restore, conserve and preserve natural environments in urban areas. It is the home of the first public garden in the state of Texas to be certified 100 percent organic by the Texas Organic Research Center.

The Gardens are also the home to the Rosine Smith Sammons Butterfly House and Insectarium.

You'll find Texas Discovery Gardens in the far southeastern corner of Fair Park, next to the Fair Park Band Shell.
