Clark Gardens Botanical Park

Clark Gardens Botanical Park: A North Texas Treasure Rooted in Nature, Built by Hand

Just beyond the noise of the city, nestled in the serene North Texas Hill Country, lies Clark Gardens—a breathtaking 35-acre botanical garden and event venue. Once a rugged mesquite pasture, it was transformed by founders Max and Billie Clark into a flourishing oasis—crafted by hand, fueled by passion, and sustained entirely by community support.

Clark Gardens is not publicly funded or part of a city park system. It’s a grassroots gem—deeply rooted in Texas soil and in the hearts of all who visit. Each year, thousands come to experience our curated beauty, native and adaptable plantings, and peaceful walking trails that invite reflection and renewal.

We are more than a garden—we are a living classroom. Each year, elementary students participate in free hands-on programs celebrating pollinator health and Texas Arbor Day. Retired educators, master gardeners, and volunteers guide children through powerful, sensory learning experiences—often their first connection to nature.  

We also believe in the healing power of the outdoors. From seasonal wellness events to quiet spaces designed for rest and reflection, Clark Gardens nurtures mind, body, and spirit.

Your gift helps Clark Gardens grow this legacy—supporting free educational programs, preserving our sustainable gardens, and keeping this peaceful sanctuary open for all. Join us. Be part of something beautiful.
