Now open at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden:
A Tasteful Place: a 3.5 acre edible display garden complete with lagoon and lovely walkways that meander between the beds of flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruit trees and more.
The lead designers were Rob Rider and Leah Hales of the SWA Group, and the garden includes four potager display gardens, an orchard and patio, a test cooking pavilion, and a view of the downtown skyline. The lagoon and hillside were designed by Kevin Clark/Naud Burnett Landscape Architects.
A Tasteful Place will feature daily tastings of recipes developed from vegetables in the garden, hands-on cooking classes, recipe swaps, garden-to-table dinners, nutritional presentations and many other special events.
Will McDaniel, a member of the arboretum's executive committee, said the new garden is a perfect fit for programming that "helps people learn about fresh food, how to harvest, clean and prepare it, and how to lead a healthy lifestyle."
