Lubbock Memorial Arboretum

Go on Saturday's from 9am to 1pm for the cutest farmer's market!

This small arboretum has had so many improvements. There is now a beautiful educational garden area in the middle. The path which is about a mile around has mild inclines which also make it more interesting than the surrounding flatness. It changes throughout the year and I’m always excited to go see what’s blooming. The squirrels and butterflies are also fun to watch.

Stopped by the arboretum today and was pleasantly surprised to find the remains of the pumpkin walk 😀. My husband & I walked around and admired all the hard work! Nice path to walk on. Bring your water 😂

A very nice place for a walk in October. There are still a few flowers blooming. They have a little covered area with some raised gardens which are very nice. We see some mockingbirds.

We got married June 3. I was in complete panic mode given we were set to have an outdoor ceremony @ the Arch outside the tea terrace. Joann was AMAZING and saved ...no she made a dream come true for me. She pulled a hail Mary and was able to get us the St. Paul Chapel. I'd wanted to get married there since I was a little girl. Thanks to Joann's efforts, I married a man greater than my wildest dreams in the place I'd always dreamed of. Despite being behind schedule, everything was beautiful. We did set up and break down chairs @ the Chapel. It seated 65. Renting the Archway only was $75/hr and then $1/chair. You do have to do any setup (decorating) and breakdown (cleanup) within the rental time. So definitely have a plan in place to get it all done. They also have an event center and tea terrace rental (with bridal suite) for $500. It doesn't allow dancing so that ended up being a no for us but everything was beautiful and communication was great. We are so grateful to them for their generosity and professionalism.
