Ashton Gardens

YOUR OASIS IN THE DESERT

As the natural heart of Thanksgiving Point, the Ashton Gardens feature 50 acres of stately gardens, grand lawns, and the largest manmade waterfall in America. The gardens are organized like rooms, with trees, shrubs, and grasses serving as living barriers between the 17 themed spaces. Each space provides opportunities to reflect and rejuvenate in the wonders of the natural world.

Enjoy a bite to eat at the Trellis Café, take home botanical beauties from the Garden Path Greenhouse, or register for one of our free Guided Garden Walks for an immersive experience that engages all of your senses.
