This is a great public space. They take good care of planning and maintaining the landscape. Easy to access the walking trails. The vegetation changes with each season so its likely each visit will provide a varied experience.

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. Id wanted to get married there since I was a little girl. Thanks to Joanns efforts, I married a man greater than my wildest dreams in the place Id 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 (decoratingand breakdown (cleanupwithin 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 suitefor $500. It doesnt 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.

Flowers, trees, and crime out the wahoo. Loves this place when Lubbock cares enough about this side of town to have a cop not sit in a church parking lot and actually prevent crime.

We went to the Pumpkin Trail tonight right after sunset and it was packed, but a really enjoyable experience. The trails were clearly marked and the pumpkins carved by area students were adorable. Im so glad the Arboretum hosts this every year.

We planted 2 trees with John. We had to dig the holes. John provided the supplies. He is very knowledgeable about trees and what they do for the process of planting the trees in memory of. Its hard work. BUT well worth it.

Disappointed! Loose dogs in the park, overgrown displays, un-edged paths, lake full of vegetation. Apparently the city doesn’t spend much time on this β€œattraction β€œ. Saw several plaques about the tireless volunteers and most of those seem to have passed, according the the signs. There was one older lady trying to clean up one of the completely overgrown planting areas, and she could use some help. I am glad there was no admission fee, but maybe they could do that and hire some folks to make this place the gem it could be.

The forlorn expression on the widowers face with pruners in his hands standing in the ROSE GARDEN, will keep reminding me of the EFFORT, DEDICATION, & PASSION of the WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS! πŸ‘ My wife and I have been ENJOYING the quiet beauty of the lovely variety & arrangements of flowers, shrubs, trees, & the mowed grass several times each year for the last 6+ yrs in LBK. THANK YOU! 😊β™₯οΈπŸ€—

My favorite place to go for a walk! Lovely rose garden, full of seasonal local flowers and herbs, as well as fruit trees. For those of you who play Pokemon Go or Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, this is a good place to fill up on pokeballs/energy and do gym/fortress battles. The abundance of gazebos and trees means that its not too hard to find a shady place to rest. Its a great place for photoshoots.

I was surprised by how well everything was maintained, this proved to be a pretty nice evening. We went around Halloween, and they had a huge pumpkin walk. No, no -- there was not a large pumpkin walking around but rather hundreds of local people/organizations carved pumpkins. so I enjoyed seeing the hard work of others. I appreciated the work put into the grounds and loved the seclusion

my daughters love the sensory garden, the gorgeous roses, the little church, and the wide open space here. the poppies are always a big hit, as well. This is glorious natural beauty framed in perfectly manicured lawns, and picturesque scenery that is so rare in this flat, brown wasteland. I highly recommend watching the sun set from the banks of the pond.

This is a great place to go out and have a nice walk. The general grounds are open basically during daylight hours. If you need anything else it is usually best you call ahead and make an appointment. They always need volunteers and will put you to work!

It provides a unique experience for families for some fall fun and the artistry the community puts together to donate fantastically carved pumpkins is outstanding.
