The City of Carrollton is home to three beautiful native and adapted plant demonstration gardens. Our largest and most accessible garden is at Josey Ranch Lake between (and just behind) the Library and Senior Center at 1700 Keller Springs Road. With its wide pathways and generous lighting, anytime of day is a great time to wander through the garden!

We also have two smaller gardens located at the Don Cline pump station at 2150 Old Denton Road and Bobby Ballard Pump Station at 4750 N. Josey Lane.  Below you will find a colorful sampling of some of the plants you will find in the gardens.

For volunteer opportunities in one of City of Carrollton's Demonstration Gardens, contact Ethan Harrison-Weil at ethan.harrison-weil@cityofcarrollton.com or 972-466-5794.
