Gregg's Blue Mistflower

This Texas native is a pollinator magnet! It's a perfect "beginner" plant, and a favorite of seasoned butterfly gardeners because of it's low water needs.

Milkweed 

This plant is essential to the Monarch butterfly life cycle. It's the only plant the caterpillars will eat. You can help support the Monarch migration by planting native Milkweed.

Texas Discovery Gardens will be closed on Monday, July 24. We will be getting a brand new HVAC unit airlifted onto our roof! That means some streets around Texas Discovery Gardens will be closed for part of the day. BUT Tuesday, July 25 is Pay What You Wish Tuesday so you can make up your visit and choose your price of admission! On Monday our team, with the help of Neiman Marcus, Stream Realty, KFK Group and the Westin Hotel, planted a butterfly garden at One Main Place. This new garden will honor the matriarch of Neiman Marcus, Minnie Marcus. We can't wait to see what this garden grows into! Are you visiting Texas Discovery Gardens this weekend?

"If you admire somebody, you should go head and tell them. People never get the flowers while they can still smell em. An idol in my eyes.." When you first meet someone, it's impossible to know the impact they will have on your life. About 9 years ago, when I was an 18 year old fresh faced college kid, I was lucky enough to not only meet a friend, but a roommate, a brother, a mentor, a role model, and a hero. I trust you. I listen to you. I admire you. This past weekend, my big brother @oscarm_15 got married and now I have a new sister @woahnellies 😁I was extremely proud and humbled to be apart of their special day as a groomsmen. To me, there is no greater honor as a friend.

We went to the Dallas children's Aquarium and had a blast petting the sting rays. Then walked across the street to Texas Discovery Gardens and walked through the indoor garden full of butterflies. Then took a nice walk through the gardens to the house of snakes. It was so much fun and I'm glad I bought those passes last year and I'm super blessed to be able to use them instead of being stuck at work like last year.#wahm #dallas #dallaschildrensaquarium #texasdiscoverygardens #butterflygarden #aqaurium #girlsday #momof3girls #blessed #livingthemoment Great photo of an Owl Butterfly by @path0logical_pictur3_tak3r Owl butterflies can be found in Central and South America. During the day you can usually find them hanging out in shady areas of the Butterfly House. I did a little write up on my blog about our visit to the Texas Discovery Gardens! Link in bio. And after you check that out, head over to @librarybookparade, where I post reviews of kids' books (with a peek inside!) Today I posted about Nature Anatomy by Julia Rothman--the perfect learning supplement to outdoor adventuring with kids. || #motherhoodunplugged #childhoodunplugged #letthekids #letthembelittle #ontheblog #texasdiscoverygardens #blog #blogger #momblog #momblogger #linkinbio #vsco_kids #moments_of_mom #honestlymothering #authenticmotherhood #dailyparenting #dfwmom #dfw #dallasbig #dallasmom #dallasmoms @dfwchildmag @dallasmomsblog @collincountymomsblog #northtexas #naturekids #explorenature #naturewalk #butterflyhouse #outdoorexplorer #playandlearn #learnthroughplay #dfwchildsummerfun Nine years today. . . . . #texasdiscoverygardens #carissabyersphotography #weddedbliss #rusticwedding #nineyears #blessing #myheartinprint Thanks @audreykrobinson for letting us share this fun photo from your visit to Texas Discovery Gardens!
