The Dyck Arboretum of the Plains gives visitors a rare opportunity to experience wildflowers of the Great Plains in cultivation.
The Arboretum is part of the seamless campus community hosting buffalo grass meadows that surround a scenic lake, hundred of varieties of native and adaptable wildflowers, grasses, scrubs and trees.
The ever-changing garden is a beautiful backdrop for meditation. Add in the songbirds, butterflies, skies and clouds, cooling or warming breezes and you have the ingredients for creating, playing, discovering, exercising heart mind and soul. The half mile circle with benches provides new discoveries in all four seasons.
Schowalter Villa neighbors the arboretum to the south and east. Our latest building development in Lake Vista backs up to the Arboretum and overlooks the Window to the Prairie project. The arboretum will feature boroughs with season changing prairie grasses and wildflowers and in time host walking paths connecting the Schowalter Villa walkways to their walking trails.
“It was great to be able to do the games every Sunday this month! We had a wonderful time. As the old McDonald's commercial says: "I'm lovin' it"!”
