Fall at the Dallas Arboretum

Last week, I shared about our trip down to Magnolia Market, but that was only a small portion of our trip! We spent most of the time in Dallas and I really fell in love with the city. I don’t say this much, in fact I don’t know how many cities I have actually said this about, but I could live in Dallas. I loved it. But maybe that’s because we visited during a cool time for them, when the high was only 85 :)

So many people told me that I HAD to visit the Dallas Arboretum and it didn’t disappoint. In fact, it was so amazing that I wanted to capture all of the beauty and post about it. Also because I know how much all of you LOVE pumpkins and fall just as much as I do! Visiting during the fall was simply magical.

Come see what 90,000 pumpkins looks like! Fall at the Dallas Arboretum is a magical sight and full of amazing pumpkin displays!If you love fall, pumpkins, I mean like 90,000 pumpkins, beautiful botanicals, and nature. You HAVE to take a trip here during the fall.

The beauty begins right as you enter the Arboretum with hundreds of pumpkins on display mixed with vibrant botanicals. Come see what 90,000 pumpkins looks like! Fall at the Dallas Arboretum is a magical sight and full of amazing pumpkin displays!Every walk way is lined with pumpkins and I couldn’t help but think how I wanted to line our entire driveway and landscaping with pumpkins when I got home. I loved the simplicity of a single line of pumpkins that also made it feel so festive and just plain pretty.
Come see what 90,000 pumpkins looks like! Fall at the Dallas Arboretum is a magical sight and full of amazing pumpkin displays!I absolutely loved this display of the different kinds of pumpkins. I honestly had no idea they each had their own unique names. I loved learning about all the names of the pumpkins that I love using around my house. In fact, I learned that the ones we are growing in our yard are called Crystal Star Pumpkins!Come see what 90,000 pumpkins looks like!

Fall at the Dallas Arboretum is a magical sight and full of amazing pumpkin displays!During this time of year they have their annual Pumpkin Village and I was completely blown away. It was so incredible. Everything from the designs of of each pumpkin house, to the unique way they displayed pumpkins and all of the different kinds that they display. I was in fall heaven. I mean the design work on building these houses was SO amazing. Each them have their own color scheme and theme and they are designed right down to the tiniest details. This one was Wizard of Oz theme. Come see what 90,000 pumpkins looks like! Fall at the Dallas Arboretum is a magical sight and full of amazing pumpkin displays!As much as I love traveling with just my husband, this is one of the times that I wish my kids were with me because they would have absolutely loved it. I wish we lived closer to Dallas, instead of a 4 hour plane ride, because I would take an extra drive with them just to see this amazing display.

I loved this ginormous display around the grounds, especially since it used millet grass which I put on our fall porch this year.

We continued to walk around the grounds for over an hour. There is so much to look at even outside of the Pumpkin Village. It was so charming and just gorgeous. We even ran into this beautiful butterfly that stayed long enough for me to capture. I was so drawn to this archway. I kept thinking that it reminding me of a fairytale. Imagine it covered in twinkle lights and dancing through here. What was the best surprise of all, is that after walking through here with my husband feeling so romantic we actually saw a couple get engaged at the end of it! It was so sweet.

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the Dallas Arboretum, I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town.

    It all looks amazing, but with the last photo these questions popped into my head. Who gets to clean all of it up? Where do all those pumpkins go?

    Thank you for the fun photos. Cheers, Ardith

    I was thinking of who does all the placement of the pumpkins. That kind of designing doesn’t happen overnight, imagine would take several days or weeks to get organized.So glad you shared your photos Taryn, this was so exquisite to experience. Your photos are great.
    Happy week

#ad We’ve been working on a few refreshes in our backyard this year! The sun has worn down a lot of our furniture out here so we are swapping out our weathered umbrella tables with these gorgeous black fluted tables from @veradek . I already had the matching planters out here (and love them BTW), and decided to add one more in the SandStone color for a bit of contrast. #myveradek #reimagineoutdoors #meetyououtside

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.
