Triumphant daffodils announce Festival

Dallas Blooms “A World of Flowers” explodes with more than 500,000 spring-blooming blossoms and photo opportunities at every turn in what Architectural Digest names as one of the “15 Breathtaking Botanical Gardens to Visit This Season.” Celebrating the cultures around the world, Dallas Blooms features an International Crossroads Village in Pecan Grove with a large world map created from more than 2,000 vibrant pansies and three flower houses adorned with hundreds of petunias. The festival runs through April 8. Each week highlights a different region such as France, the Mediterranean, Europe, Asia and the Americas, so the food, entertainment and activities will vary throughout the festival. A Tasteful Place features activities that reflect each cultural theme during the Blooms festival, and offers three free samples of food at Ruthie Pack’s Tasting Plaza every day. The internationally acclaimed Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden has 119 interactive computer games and activities every day. For more information, visit dallasarboretum.org. — Juliette Coulter
