Since 1982 the major goal of the Women’s Council has been the design, construction, funding, and endowment of A Woman’s Garden, a principal garden at the Dallas Arboretum. A Woman’s Garden is the only public garden in the United States conceived by women, funded by the efforts of women and dedicated to the spirit of women. Celebrating its 41st year, the support of over 500 members of the Women’s Council makes possible the continued expansion and development of A Woman’s Garden.
