Dallas Blooms Monday at the Arboretum


Dallas Blooms, the Dallas Arboretum's spring festival featuring more than 400,000 flowers and activities, opens its five-week run on Monday.

This year's "Flower Power" theme draws its inspirations from the 1960s. A Volkswagen Beetle and Volkswagen van will be transformed into floral displays. Special events include nighttime concerts and a Dick Clark impersonator featuring music countdowns and dance contests.

The arboretum, 8525 Garland Road, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Discount tickets are available at Tom Thumb stores. Call 214-515-6500 or visit www.dallasarboretum.org.
