About Texas Discovery Gardens
Texas Discovery Gardens is a nonprofit organization that operates a 7.5-acre organic garden features native and adapted plants. Inside, the two-story Rosine Smith Sammons Butterfly House and Insectarium transports you to a tropical rainforest, complete with hundreds of free-flying tropical butterflies.

Located in Dallas' historic Fair Park, Texas Discovery Gardens is a year-round organically maintained urban oasis filled with natural wonders. Family festivals, workshops, free admission days, and extensive (and growing) EarthKeepers student education program introduce children and adults to natural outdoor learning experiences.

It is the first public garden in the state of Texas to be certified 100% organic by the Texas Organic Research Center. The gardens are maintained using sustainable methods that conserve water and help to protect the environment.
