Help us plant the largest garden in Downtown Dallas.

This North Texas Giving Day, Downtown Dallas Conservancy (DDPC) is inviting our community to help create the largest garden in Downtown Dallas—a 26,000-square-foot urban prairie filled with more than 20,000 native perennials designed to bloom in the heart of the city.

These gardens will transform Civic Garden into a vibrant neighborhood destination while supporting monarch butterflies and other pollinators, improving air quality, reducing the urban heat island effect, and bringing the beauty of Texas native landscapes to Downtown.

Whether you live here, work here, or simply love spending time in Downtown Dallas, this is your chance to help grow the backyard we all share.

Your gift will help plant the largest garden in Downtown Dallas. With your support, Civic Garden Park will become home to:

  • 26,000 square feet of new gardens
  • 20,000+ native perennials
  • Three expansive prairie-inspired garden beds
  • Habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators
  • Beautiful, low-water Texas native landscapes designed to thrive for years to come

Your gift helps create a cooler, healthier, more beautiful Downtown —one that welcomes neighbors, supports wildlife, improves environmental resilience, and gives everyone another reason to spend time outside.

Every gift helps Downtown bloom.
