sponsored by the Women’s Council of
the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical
Garden. Monies raised grow and

Woman’s Garden,
a major garden at the Dallas
Arboretum.
Over
450 guests, some from as far away as
California, plan their trips to
Dallas not only to take part in the
Mad Hatter’s Tea Party – many in
wild and wonderful over-the-top hats
- but to view the glorious
springtime azalea displays and
flowers that grace the Dallas
Arboretum.

in Ginsburg Plaza, professionally
staged and choreographed fashion
presentation produced by the

a seated luncheon under elegantly
draped tents. Hats are judged in
